I am thinking about putting a dual exhuast system on my wifes 98 V6. I was looking at H-pipes that let you put any GT/V8 cat back on it. I have found ones with cats and ones without. The ones without are a lot($250) cheaper so I am thinking about getting one without.

Has anyone had any (non-emissions)problems with running an off-road H-pipe on these engines ?

Will the lack of back pressure can cause a loss in power ?

It's been long debated that you do lose power free-flowing the exhaust on the V6.

Removing the cats is really only going to change exhaust sound and loudness.

If it matters, I hate the sound on my mustang without the cats, but I deleted all 4 and have the side exhaust.
