It depends. What do you want to do? Do you want to do what you can and stay legal for FS, or do you want to do what you want and install the mods that no one is going to give a rat's @ss about in FS? Seriously, an aftermarket H-pipe is not legal in FS, but I guaruntee no one is going to care so long as it has cats. If it was an o/r pipe, it'd be different.

Cool. I guess staying in a certain class shouldn't decide what I want to do with my car. It's pretty obvious I'm not going to be winning anything in FS soon, anyway. Does TJ sell that kind of stuff? Or do you just place an order through him and he installs it?

BTW: What's a cat-back? I always thought it was just another name for the catalic (sp?) converter, but now I've been hearing otherwise.

Oh, and congrats on finally posting from home.

Cat-back= Flowtubes, mufflers, and tailpipes. Its the exhaust system after the intermediate pipe(X or H pipe).

Yeah, good part about living in Florida...we can run off-road H(X,Chambers)-pipes...no cats required Can you say free flow exhaust? I knew you could.

Can you say refuse to work on your car w/o cats? I knew you could. Still trying to decide.

But now, let's say I just left the cats alone for now, and got everything else. If I got 2.5 inch exhaust, would it fit in the cats, since they are 2.25 right now. Would modification be needed to them?

Well, it turns out that Autopower no longer offers the removable center section for the full cage so it looks like I won't be ordering the cage afterall . Oh well, looks like I'll be looking at race rubber and wheels

Nope. Aftermarket cat-backs will bolt up with no modifications necessary. Same with the crossover tube. BTW, why'd you decide on the H pipe over an X pipe? Just curious...

H-pipes sound nice a deep. I like h-pipes better on 5.0 but I like the X-pipe on 4.6's better. I dunno why.

Well, the cage w/o those removable sections was about $550 + $180 shipping. Add some for the harnesses and if I decided to have him do the install, but I was probably going to do that myself.

I actually prefer the X sound over pipes just because most 5.0's I hear are overly loud and under refined. For that reason (and I love the x pipe sound) I'm going with the o/r X on mine. JMHO
