Just wondering if anyone on here has hooked up the pypes H pipe to their stock cats? I read the flow only slightly less than the high flow cats in the HFM26 kit. Im guessing im going to have to do some cutting, but no big deal if I can save 200 bucks.

Just curious but...what would be the point of that? It's a 2.5" H pipe, you already have 2.5" H pipe.

If anyone has a sound clip of the pypes hfm26 with the cats on Id like to hear it. Theres enough on youtube but none with the highflow cats on that I could find? I frequently go over to cali so I need to make sure im not going to draw to much attention.

This is my car with high flow cats on the stock H pipe. Same thing as what you're doing though.

Definite difference in sound. I have a question, I have the violator mufflers, and I didn't install them. The problem is they're sitting about an inch off center and it doesn't look to be anyway to move them over to center does anybody have any suggestions? Apparently the pypes hangers are stock, so Im wondering if I need to bend the hangers or what? I really dont want to bust out the die grinder and welder. I've seen a ton on youtube and they are all hanging perfect? Let me know what you did?

Pypes are, unfortunately, notorious for bad fitment. Most likely you will have to bend the hangers to get it to sit where it needs to.

Your cam phasers sound like they're going to rattle right out of the top end!?!

Better get those changed, pronto

Ive concluded I want to go with the pro chamber by MAC. But cant find sound clips of the cut to fit unit vs. manifold direct hookup with the violators on. If any one could steer me the right direction>>>> I like the DEEPER tone on the pro chamber

I don't understand what you can even hear in that video that sounds like a bad phaser.

Pro chamber with high flow cats and same mufflers as above. It's the only clip I have. The off road one is really loud, obviously.
