Default O/R or Hi Flow Catted H or X?

I decided that my next mod is goingto be one of the following:

O/R H pipe
O/R X pipe

Hi Flow catted H pipe
Hi Flow catted X pipe

What do you guys think would sound best, considering thatI have borla stingers an a CAI?
Thanks

Any OR H or X with those stinger is going to be loud and obnoxious. I'd stick with catted pipe, probably x with those cal emissions checks. I don't have to worry about emissions checks where I live so I went with an OR-X. It was so loud with the GTA's I installed a pair of Dynomax race bullets in front of the axle and kept the GTA's in their stock location. It sounds good.

you guys who think that that its loud with GTAs dont know loud really.....i am sure its actaully pretty tame...

Many people run stingers with o/r h pipe....its loud but really not obnoxious. Tacobill, modular81, blaven and more run it....PM them and see what they think if you want.....at low RPMs and idle its not bad, it will be nasty when you lay into it...pretty deep rumble

I love the sound of my O/R H and stingers. If you aren't getting on it you could barely tell anything is done to the exhaust really. Now if you step on it or bring the rpm's around 3kish that is when you start to hear it get loud and mean. Its not for everyone but i love the old school loudness that combo brings to my car.

That would be my first concern; do have admission testing? If so, you wont pass with a o/r pipe bolted underneath.

I live in central ohio andwe dont have to get cars inspected for squat. Anyway, I personally dont care for the sound the x pipe produces, soI wentwith the o/r h.

Good luck on your choice.

Ask Tacobill he's in Cali and he runs the offroad H so there must be some way around it, maybe because he dosent drive it all that much.

go with the o/r H-pipe, it will sound deeper than the o/r x-pipe. x-pipe is more raspier. but it's all personal preference. but you gotta consider emissions in CA. if you know someone who will pass you then no problem. you should be able to conect w/ local mustang or hotrod clubs where you live to see who will not give you a problem w/ emissions testing. o/r is louder than cats. but if you got stock exhaust manifold should not be too bad.
