After Car X PIPE?

Anyone ever used one? Worth it? If not I plan to buy x pipe and just swap yearly for emissions.... but would you advise not withouth a tuner? Will it mess with anything beside a light? Or is a tuner a must with O/R X Pipe?

X or H with boomtubes?

Yes removing cats will require a tune.

That sucks I passed a gt without cats sounded so good. I almost went to Summit to buy X pipe then figured I would ask here first. Thanks

A tune is not 100% necessary if you remove the cats. The car will run just fine but you will eventually get a CEL. All the tune would do is turn off the rear 02 sensors.

Ok so another weekend got the itch again.... went and got emissions then bought an X pipe because summit sent me $25 off.... Worked out at register.. got another $20.. so 126 for summit brand X pipe but... holy chit it's loud think i am going to change for some regular mufflers.... but it seems to have lost some power in upper RPMS.
