upr catted X

I was looking at the upr catted X pipe and on the title, it says: "1987 - 1995 UPR Catalytic Mustang GT & Cobra X-over Pipe (Manual Only)"

But in the description, it says automatic or manual. And then it gives you a little drop down menu where you can choose automatic or manual trans.

WTF?? Anybody know if it will fit an auto?

I realize everyone has a different expirience but the two times I have gone with BBK, I was dissapointed ...first, I found that the shorty headers had a pretty shallow flange and wasn't really universal with non-BBK midpipes (had a leak)..second was the FPR I bought. It leaked where the large tube was pressed in (in comparison, my Aeromotive unit was machined from one piece). Just my 2 cents, but I've been a bit tentative about buying BBK...too bad too, cause I'm in the market for long tubes and a catted mid pipe...

I know you get what you pay for....most of the time...but ive heard problems with all brands to be honest. I havn't heard much bad about UPR.

Im not a fan of their CC plates I bought though.

Personally I'd save the stock h-pipe for emissions inspections and get an off road x-pipe for daily use (it's cheaper too). I just put a "high flow" catted h-pipe on since I just moved to a state with a visual inspection and the car feels like it's exhaling through a straw with the "high flow" cats went on...lost some gas mileage too I think.

Did you ever buy the UPR x-pipe with cats?

Reject5.O, did you ever buy the UPR x-pipe with cats. If so, how do you like them. I thinking about buying them, also. Or maybe Magnaflow.

No, I emailed UPR and they said that they "weren't sure" if the pipe would fit on an automatic car. Im still running the stocker. Sorry man.

i heard if u want cats magnaflow is the only way to go, i heard u actually get what you pay for interms of cats, and that the other companies cats are so cheap you mite actually fail smog. Thus oem cats are expensive for a reason.....because they work....so i hear
