When I used to have my 86gt PA didn't require emissions so I was running an off road h-pipe.

Years later i bought the 94 I have now. What options do I have as far as H-Pipes, or any other exhaust component for that matter?

I have to replace the throw out bearing soon, i was thinking of getting a new hpipe to install while its already off.

any suggestions?

You have pretty much the same options...offroad H, offroad X, Mac Pro Chamber, or high flow catted versions of all of them.

Oh....well in that case you want some nice high flow cats. Unfortunately that's gonna be a bit more expensive. Pretty much every company that makes offroad versions also make catted versions.

Try Bassani

The Bassani BX Catted X pipe fits great and has a nice raspy bark to it.

you could always do what i do and just swap cats back on for the sniffer. md is only every 2 years so its not too bad. i have one more go around till i can put historic tags on her and shes done with emissions

Click to expand...

I've never had to run them but i'd imagine there's some kind of loss. There's definitely a loss in sound.

I got the Magnaflow catted H and I passed my final emissions test with a new h/c/i and no thermactor system. The Magnaflow H might be your best and cheapest option.

As far as sound, my h/c/i with cats is only slightly louder than my stock bolt on engine with no cats and a catback. You can still hear the car from blocks away, but it sounds tamed. The 'rumble' from the h/c/i motor is there and it sets off car alarms if you drive it with no hood. As far a power loss, I really dont think I'm missing much.

Cheapest place I've seen it now. --> HottExhaust.com - Online Store Search Results
