Headers or X-Pipe

[Black Stang 97]

What do you guys recommend getting first? headers or an X-Pipe?

I assume you mean shorties, and shorties are not worth the labor to put them on!

Xpipe took me 2hrs last night and it is my most favorite mod yet!

I'm not sure about GT's, but I know on Mach 1's, an X pipe will get you more HP and it's cheaper too. Header's are never worth the money unless it's long tubes

On a GT an X pipe catted or o/r will get you more HP then shorties. but then again just as everyone says shorties are a waste of money. Also, If you get longtube headers you need to get a shorty midpipe.

slp makes modular exhausts


you can buy the x-pipe now and then install their long tubes later without having to buy a new x

x-pipe

i say x-pipe, but keep in mind as others have said if you decide to get LT's in the future, you will have to buy a shorty x-pipe to match it. i say go with the SLP. I have one, and its top-notch quality. If you decide to get LT's down the road, you can keep the slp x-pipe and just remove the down tubes. also, with LT's you may notice a loss of low-end torque. to make up for that, get a set of 4.10 gears. the gears wont give you any hp, but will improve acceleration dramatically. so, i say slp x-pipe, 4.10s, then LT's.

also, if you decide to go with the slp x, you may also want to consider what cat-back you plan on getting. if you want the slp loudmouth, or even magnaflow packs, you will probably want to get a catted x or you will have no backpressure(with an o/r x) and may not like the sound of your exhaust. especially if you get LT's in the future. if you plan on getting a cat-back with mufflers, you can get away with an o/r x. this is what ive learned from reading these forums for months now, so if im wrong, feel free to correct me, just keep the flaming to a minimum. i bruise easily.

oh yeah, i think mac also just started selling the prochamber and downpipes seperately, so thats another route you can go. good luck

gotta go with the x pipe

i would say the x-pipe just for the sound alone
