In the past I tried an O/R H-Pipe and it was too loud with the Flowmasters and the low end torque was gone ! The power sucked down low and was ok up high. My question for you guys/gals with catted X-Pipe... did you lose any tourque down low? what did you notice after installing it?

Thanks a lot. In a dif. thread there were 2 guys talking a little about them, but the topic was more towards Flowmaster axle back. I want more info specially on the Magnaflow & Bassani High flow X- Pipe.

I have the SLP o/r x pipe. I did notice a little loss down low but it was minimal. I am runnin 4.10 gears versus stock 3.31 in the auto though so it really doesn't bother me much. I don't like the sound much though. It's not nearly as deep sounding as the O/R H but it's acceptable and I don't care enough to go crawling around under the car again or spend the money for an H.

I put the FRPP X-Pipe and JBA headers on at the same time, retains the stock cats. When I pulled out of the station that did the work for me, my seat of the pants meter said hey where's my low end torque???. Then I came to a stop put it in first and effortlessly smoked my tires all through 1st gear and at least halfway through 2nd, at that point I said to my seat of the pants meter....SHUT UP!!!

Ezio,

I have original 40 series flowmasters and bassani x with high flow cats. First off, I love the sound of my car. I think it sounds the best compared to any other mustang I have heard. It sounds truly American while having the smooth touch of an x pipe. I didn't feel much loss down low. Plus, in all reality, when you are racing you are hardly in the in the low-end anyway.

The cool thing about the kit is that it comes with straight pipes that you can swap out with the cats. I didn't do that. Bassani states themselves that it really doesn't do that much. They suggest just to run the cats. By swapping out the cats, I didn't set off any check engine lights or anything.

Would you like a sound clip? I haven't recorded on yet, but I can if somebody would care.

I have a Magnaflow X-pipe with high flow cats with flowmaster and i love it. I noticed a difference in hp and tq. But mayb thats just me. I reccomend this mid pipe to any1 that wants to have the hp, tq, and awsome sound well still having cats.

not near as loud with the catted as to not catted . . .

each high flow car is only worth about 1-2 more hp than over O/R

i did notice a diff with my X w/ cats . . . 1/4 time proved it
