Default mid-pipe

so i decided i didn't want to spend more money on the pro-chamber and was wondering if the pypes o/r x-pipe was any good?

also i was wondering how full the engine is supposed to be with oil, when mines cold it comes up a little over half way between min and max and i was wondering if that was about right?

o/r X only sounds good with some catbacks. What catback do you have on your car?? I think the prochamber is way better then a o/r x. You can get a o/r prochamber from lethal for about $260.

Do not go o/r x with stingers. Best way to describe the sound is it sounds like a wet fart lol. Either go with a catted x or o/r prochamber.

i just got a pypes o/r x pipe, havent installed it yet, for my cobra. i have magna flow cat back w/ stock exh manifolds. so ill let u know how that sounds. everyone has their own taste for midpipes, check out youtube for vids with cobras with different exh systems. i personally dont like how the prochamber o/r sounds. sounds more like an exh for a 5.0 stang and some people love them.

but one thing i was wondering is why it seems like most choose bassani over something like pypes that it is a whole lot cheaper but still the same diameter pipe and shape?

well i guess that makes sense...maybe i should just run open headers all over the place and not worry about exhaust or how my neighbors feel about it
