X-pipe questions
Hey guys, i have a 2005 mustang gt and i am planning on upgrading the exhaust. I want to put the Pypes Pype-Bomb axle-back on my car and a catted Pypes X-pipe. I want to stay street-legal and this x-pipe seems to be a bargain. What do you think of this x-pipe, how is its quality, and have you used it before. I heard there could be some fitment issues with these, if you could help me with the dilemma i wuld appreciate it.

stop by a local shop tomorrow that does inspections and ask them for a definite answer but this is from the new jersey DMV website:
The On-Board Diagnostic Test
The On-board Diagnostic (ODB) test reads a computer system in your vehicle to identify engine-related problems that may result in increased emissions of harmful pollutants. If you maintain your vehicle when you are alerted by your OBD system, you can help improve the state's air quality. (For models earlier than 1996, New Jersey will continue to use the earlier tailpipe-emissions tests during inspection.)
The OBD system monitors your vehicle at all times, even when it is not being tested. If it detects something that might cause your vehicle to emit excessive harmful pollutants, the "Check Engine" light will illuminate on your dashboard. This could indicate a simple problem, such as a faulty spark plug that should be replaced before it creates a more serious problem, such as a damaged catalytic converter.
so as long as your CEL isnt on, you should be good to go. but verify with a local shop that does inspections to be 100% sure, and FYI if thats the case you can even get an offroad pipe and still pass as long as they never do a visual on your car. every state is different on inspections and it can even vary a little from shop to shop. some states require ALL stock emissions (including exhaust parts) to be in place...so even an aftermarket catted pipe will fail. some states have no inspections at all (i miss florida for that). some states just have to pass a sniffer, or an OBDII check (which it looks like NJ falls into that category).
