Last night i spent 2 hours cutting gutting and welding my h pipe back together after deleting my cats and today i installed them to hear sounds like i have coke cans inline of my exhaust,i guess i need to just buy an off road h pipe and stop trying to hide the fact i deleted the cats,my question would be is will the off road h pipe sound just as ****ty or is it the hollow can where my converters used to be making the ****ty sound,steve

Well, I am pretty sure either MAC or SLP make a system that has removeable cats.

I personally think that H sounds better and less raspy than X.

Do you live in a state that has vehicle inspections? If so it probably would have been best to keep the stocker intact and get a o/r H.

If you do not live in a state that has vehicle inspections just get an o/r H.

If you live in a state that has vehicle inspections you should probably get a catted H that is higher flow and louder the stock.

I've got o/r h-pipes and I love the way my car sounds. It doesn't sound like there are hollow cans in there at all! It's got a rumbly sound to it, just like a mustang should!

Yea I'd just get an offroad pipe and buy those copnverter heat shields and have them welded up, if you're worried about it. (However this obviously will not make you pass the sniffer.)

If that's the case, you should've bought a Mac O/R H pipe for like $130 and some splice-in MIL eliminators and been done with it. Less hassle, with the benefit of being able to put the stock pipe back on.
