Anybody have this X-pipe?

If worried about the enviroment, we wouldn't have bought V8's. We all would have bought nice little 4 bangers. Anyhow. This design is the same as Dr. Gas? Sounds the same then?

tree hugger.

you have some serious issues. I'm giving honest real world advice here, and you come back with one phrase quips like what i said was pointless? Now if i was talking out of my ass, that would be understandable, but seriously, grow up and realize that running around on the streets w/out cats is illegal for one, and does not give enough of a performance gain to be even half worth it...so i say once again...what is the real point of totally removing cats on a street car??? None.

Any real gear head would agree with me...but if you want be some 2-block street racer go ahead...

you're really misunderstanding the argument of removing and keeping cats...can you argue removing cats on a street car? The performance gain is moot..so what is the point????

dude, you seriously need to lighten up. my 1st comment was a joke. heard of one of those be4??? for those of us who grew up w/ classic stangs, there is nothing better than the smell of non-catted exhaust and the bad ass sound that it produces. running no cats is way better than a catted xpipe. show me a deal that is better this:
o/r xpipe: pay less, more performance, HELLA better sound
catted xpipe: pay an ass load more, less performance, and doesnt sounds as great as an o/r xpipe

I actually am pretty light hearted...but you can't seriously say that 10hp (max over hi flow cats) is really noticable on the street.

I'm not sure whether I want to risk the high fines of getting pulled over with no cats, that's why I'm looking at the catted X-pipe.

You could always have heat shields welded over the pipe. They would never know you didn't have cats.

:worship: that's the best argument yet...some states are really tough on cats...and I wouldn't want to have that ticket!

Actually I have heard that catted pipes give more low end power over offroad pipes, especially on the high revving DOHC Cobra/Mach motors. The offroad pipes are going to make more peak power, probably around 3rwhp more for a n/a engine. I chose offroad becuase it is much cheaper, and louder.
