I have done the searches here and on other sites and cannot find a lot of info on these.

I understand the complete off road pipe may be the way to go because of the larger and more consistant pipe diameter. I want to keep my Boss side pipes and I cannot justify $800-900 for a Boss specific pipe (see link http://www.mrt-direct.com/93o901.html ).

I have them with after cat bbk x pipe. The fit was ok, I needed to file some on the cat delete to get a leak free connection. It was about 30-45 mins of filing and test fitting, but I have zero leaks. The bolts from stock header to cat are a bitch to remove, but on jack stands with an extra set of hands we did the full install in less than 2 1/2 hrs.

The BBK pipes have been known to leak at the junction to the stock H pipe, especially on the drivers side. Just read the reviews on other forums or on americanmuscle.com where most complain about fitment and leak issues only fixable by welding (wtf is the point of buying a bolt on part if it needs to be welded????)

I have never seen anyone have any issues with the Jegs delete pipes. The Jegs pipes are also available in stainless steel, if that's important to you. http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS-Performance-Products/555/30580/10002/-1 Check them out.

Defeats the purpose of being a bolt on if its welded. Call it a weld on : P
