Pypes offroad x-pipe 91mustang lx
Had this installed by a local mechanic, he said everything went smooth took about 1.5 hours. He used a silicone connector for the smog tube. I love the way it sounds, totally different than a h-pipe. I had a magnaflow catback already on my car. It is now somewhat raspy but I love it now, it was'nt what I was expecting at first because most mustangs have a deep rumble to it. There is absolutely no drone at anyspeed. I will be getting dyno results soon and will be sure to post them. Also will have seperate dyno for the C&l Maf and tube. Sorry no pictures

Cool, I had basically the same impression. The car definitely sounds more tame at cruising speed but once the rpms get into the upper range it is sweet music.

Be sure to let us know if you experience the same problems with the thing sagging n' dragging over time, as it's pretty much the same exact design as the UPR X-pipes. Aside from the fact that the cat'ed version that I own of the UPR X-pipe required that I cut a notch out of the transmission crossmember to make it even fit (cats were welded about 1.5" too far back), the biggest headache that thing caused me was the fact that I kept having to jack the thing back up and re-tighten the rear flange bolts at least once a month, because it kept slowly creeping down in the middle. They're nice in sound and easy to bolt up initially, but the lack of any kind of tranny crossmember hanger makes those things a PITA to keep in place.
