If i buy an off road x-pipe and throw on a pair of highflow cats will i run into problems? Will there still be a spot for sensors? Do the cats have to be in a certain place to not trigger the check engine light? Do they have to be in a place to actually gain not lose power? I can get off road xpipes for cheap and cats arent that bad normally so idk i was thinking if it was worth it

FYI - an offroad pipe means without cats. So it cannot be both offroad and have cats.

If it has cats, it may or may not have bungs on the pipe. Either way, you can get some welded in or you may have to buy MIL eliminators.

I have the SLP x-pipe with hi flow cats and I have had no service engine lights come on. And the pipe had all required bungs needed for the O2 sensors

I bought my bassani X with cats used and found out later that it was originally an off road pipe and the original owner had high flow cats welded in, so far no problems with the pipe.

Wouldn't it just be cheaper to buy a catted pipe to begin with?

o/r pipe + buying cats + labor = a lot

look at the prices...take vrs for example. 160 for the aluminized o/r and 360 for the catted one. You can buy magnaflow/carsound cats off of ebay for about 40 bucks each...after shipping say 100. If you can get them welded for less than a hundred bucks, which shouldn't be too hard, you saved yourself some money. I have been planning on this method for a while now but funds have not allowed it.

yeah...I think the sellers name is performance peddler or something like that. They were selling for 30 a couple months ago but have since raised in price-probably due to the magnaflow price hike
