H-pipes

WMDPALMER · Feb 26, 2004

Looking at MAC H-pipes. Are they any good fitment wise? I currently have stock exhaust and figured I had to start somewhere. For a 95' GT. Thanks!

There good, not the best but not the worst. I wish I had gone w/ MAC over my BBK, or just be done w/ it and get a Dr Gas Pipe.

I just ordered one, can't wait to receive it

I bolted mine up last week

Only problem i had was the mid pipe being a tight squeeze, just sanded and lubed a tiny bit, no biggy

Ummm... I didn't use gaskets or RTV for the collector to Headers... no leaks but i tighened evenly....VERY evenly

for being 109.00 its well worth the money

btw- if i were to do it again i would use a lot of instant gasket or RTV or gaskets just to be on the safe side

i got lucky they didn't smoke at the header collector

**Whats wrong with your BBK ?

Fits like dog crap. if you look under my car from the back you can tell that it tilts down to the left. It was a major PITA to get it on there.

I agree, it fit on there really tight.. and so when I had to redo my header gaskets (cause the bolts backed out on the new headers) the h-pipe was pulling it at an angle the 7th and 8th bolt would NOT go in. So I had to undo the header from the h-pipe and fit it on there.. easy right ?? not really, I had to get someone to hold down the h-pipe out of the way so I could fit the header on right.

My previous BBK h-pipe on my old car was really easy install and wasn't forcing anything out of wack.

I like the sound of the MAC and for the price it isn't bad at all. The BBK is just a better fit.

My BBK h-pipe done the exact same thing and would not even seal on one side. I had to take it to the exhaust shop and have them work it a little. You might check out www.pypesexhaust.com and give their X-pipes a look. I recently installed a set of their v-tube mufflers on my car to give them a try and they are top quality and sound great and I am sure that their x-pipes are just as good and they are rather cheap too.

I know I have exhaust leaks and its b/c of that POS H Pipe. Im thinking of redoing my exhuast this summer and changing to Magnapacks and when/if I do that BBK is also being replaced.

Stage 8 locking header bolts will fix all of your problems....

Well, just so you know if you didn't. The H-Pipe that fits LT's are smaller, so you have to order the h-pipe for LT's. Not just a regular H-pipe for shorties.

H pipes- smache pipes, go with an x pipe!

WMDPALMER · Feb 28, 2004

Ex-- An "EX" pipe eh! I will see what happens at WFC if I go. You should think about flying up here and driving down with me.
