i was looking on partshopper & i saw a magnaflow tru x o/r pipe & a x pipe w/ cats...

i want to get a magnaflow o/r x pipe, but on there it says its a shortie pipe that keeps the factory cats on...is there another o/r x pipe magnaflow offers that isnt a "shortie" x pipe? and if so where can i find it?

yeah, by shortie it sounds like it is for long tube headers. you are gonna want the regular, so check out rpmoutlet or modulardepot. dont forget bassani, they make a mean X.

im guessing that tru x is the only type of o/r x pipe they offer...so what would the sound difference be w/ the high flow converters compared to w/o them?

their shortie is different than other shortie x-pipes

other companies have theirs set up for lt's, magnaflow uses the stock h-pipe and just cuts out the stock H section after the stock rear cats. just for sound i guess



as far as catted vs. o/r soundwise, the catted will have a smoother sound overall and have less popping on decel. i'm sure you can find plenty of soundclips

hmm...so if i went o/r magnaflow would there still be stock cats on my exhaust?

and i also noticed that magnaflow's are a little over 100 bucks more than bassani for an x pipe...anybody have any preferences between the two? i already have magnapacks on my stang too

ok, magnaflow makes 3 X-pipes:

one catted x- full length midpipe with 2 hi-flow cats

one o/r x- full length midpipe with no cats

one shorty x- replaces the H section with an X on the stock midpipe (4 stock cats)

unless you're in cali, you DO NOT want the 'shortie' magnaflow x-pipe. waste of money.

are you sure you're looking at the stainless steel bassani x? they make a non ss version of their pipe
either way, the prices posted on partshopper aren't the real prices when it comes to magnaflow stuff (i think, someone who's bought from here can clarify)
