I have my magnaflow X pipe, but might be looking to sell it to get a deeper sounding H pipe. What are some good H pipes out there (other than the MAC prochamber, which i hear is BOTH an H and X pipe)??

So what is the BEST H-pipe to go with in terms of power, and what produces the loudest/deepest sound? I have my SLP Loudmouths so i really want a deeper sound to go with them. I like my X, but it is a bit "raspy" and would like it to be deeper more aggressive.

Let me know what you guys think. I dont really see many H pipes on stangnet here, and the ones that are, are the prochamber.


EDIT:
- What are the laws reguarding Catallytic Converters in New Jersey. I know you need them to pass inspection, but if you are caught (somehow) with out cats on your car, is there a fine or penalty? Or just a slap on the wrists? I am thinking of buying a MAC off-road H-pipe for daily use, and using my Magnaflow X for inspection. Anyone know anything about this ?

I would have gone witht the MRT stainless H-pipe. It is the only stainless H-pipe I do belive.

I just went to get you a link and the price has jumped about $100 though.

http://mrt-direct.com/mustangracing/hpipe.php

I would see if you can get this cheaper.

I looked at this but the vrs x-pipe was $50 cheaper so I went with it.


the prochamper is neither an X or a H. It is just was it says instead of a crossover there is champer built into thepipe. I am not a fan put some swear by it.

Thanks for the link. But WOW $500+ they must think that thing is made of gold, not stainless steel. I wont replace my Magnaflow X pipe for an H pipe, unless its around the $250 range. Which is why i'm thinking about an Off-road H pipe now.

Anyone have any other H-pipes?

I belive the BBK H pipe with cats is only 369 but,for the money
it's a good H pipe.The Mac Prochamber will give you the loudest/
deep sound you are looking for.

I have a MAC offroad H and it's the deepest sound I've heard from a mustang.

I don't know how well it would sound with SLP, but it sounds awesome with flowmasters.

To me most times you hope to get what you pay for and I've got it with the MRT H. What a great mid-pipe and combined with the Borla Stingers it's one hell of a combination!

If your X-pipe is catted you should be able to make up the difference of the cost of the new catted MRT H-pipe and what you sell yours for.

My Sons GT has the Magnaflow catted X-pipe and SLPs which is a good sound but not as deep as what I have heard when using a catted H-pipe.

I sent ya a PM 2000SilverBulit

TO EVERYBODY ELSE:
Also, my friend (with the 560rwhp GT) had a BBK H-pipe and said it hangs really low. So low that he punctured it on road debris coming off an off-ramp on the highway (his car was lowered at the time). And now had to replace it. I dont remember what he has now, i'll have to ask him. But i think he has a complete custom exhaust set-up now.

yikes! $400+ for this MAC Prochamber with cats... Thats a lot of cash to spend on a mid-pipe I already have...

http://www.macperformance.com/store/product1.cfm?SID=3&Product_ID=894

Anyone know where I can get one cheaper? Wish mustangtuning sold one.

Don't think I'm going to be switching mid-pipes unless its a break-even trade or sale or something.

the MAC O/R H sounds awesome. I don't know how different it would sound w/cats, but either way you should be able to find a deal on ebay

So does anyone know about Jersey "cattalytic converter" laws? (read my 1st post)


EDIT: And which is better...HTS-coated pipes or Dura-Black coated exhaust pipes??? I would prefer a nice stainless steel cat-back. But its no biggie.
