Well went down to the shop today to have my motor mounts put in and WOW
my exhaust is in bad shape LOL...the BBK X-pipe the ball and sockets are shot...The cat back is toast ...So i want an off road X and a different cat back not flowmaster So please give me some ideas...I dont have tons of money either so i guess it has to be some what of a budget exhaust....Where do i get the MIL elimators for the rear 02's when running a off road X-pipe?....thanks for any help....
 
Well if I was low on money I would get pypes o/r x 190$ and catback on sale for 420$ and plus that setup sounds really good with a cam. You need to get mil on sale right now 60$ and 02 extension 40$.

Well I have an auto and my 02 cords weren't long enough to reach to the top of the trans, so I had to buy extension. AM sell the beast system for 580$ pypes o/r x and pypes catback. Honestly though save your money for a system you like, I bought pypes o/r x 180$ and magnaflow magnapack catback 500$ and then mil and 02 extension. Pretty much what I am getting at is buy what you want cuz you don't want to spend money again buying a different setup. And whatever setup you do buy stainless steel. Here is vid of my setup.

If anybody wants to hear sound videos, YouTube has become a great place to do so. Just do a search on PYPES in this case and you'll have plenty to listen to. Good luck choosing your system.

I like pypes..but im afraid to use them...I dont want an overally raspy sound muffler...and im afraid this will be that way...any truth to that:shrug:

There is always some truth to anything you read on the forums. However, sound is so subjective. What someone says is 'raspy' might be your perfect sound. Also, every mod you make on your car changes its sound. If you are going off road, most cat backs will start to sound 'raspy'. If you have a factory H pipe or catted aftermarket pipe, the Pypes mufflers are not going to be overly aggressive. I have a 94 5.0 that has a Beast system on it and the car has a cam. I'm 52 and I have driven it almost everyday for the past 5 years and love it. The car is a beater but everyone compliments me on the sound of that car.
