Which catted H-pipe should I go with???

[LB0193]

Alright I have decided to go with a catted H-pipe for my magnaflow catback system that is already on my car......Which one do you think I should go with, and where should I buy it from (best price).....

MRT makes the best quality catted mid pipe, but you'll have to pay for it.


It comes with high flow magnaflow cats. It sounds great. There are cheaper options which I'm sure people will bring up..

WillDuhhBeast thanks I checked them out they are also mentioned in the new mmff...they look awsome I think I will go with that one....did you notice if your car got any louder after u changed from the stock pipe?

Yes, your exhaust note will be louder and have a more pronounced tone. Catalytic converters on performance/aftermarket pipes are often hi-flow and will allow for greater performance versus OEM pieces.

Yea, he's right. It got louder for sure. It changed the tone a little bit from when it was on stock mid pipe it seemed to be a little less deep, but more of a rumble and much louder. It got a lot louder. It sounds VERY aggressive now.

Fitment was PERFECT.

My friend just got a 03 Cobra and it has 2 cutted cats on the factory h-pipe and welded on flowmasters. He is unhappy with the sound. He can get a good deal on Mac stuff....cat back and prochamber. I think the prochambers quiet the tone too much.

I recommended the Magnaflow with a catted h-pipe. I am worried that the catted h may be too quiet with the magnaflow. What do you think? Also, does anyone know if the mid-pipe is the same for the GTs and the Cobras??? Will all99-04 mid pipes fit on the 03-04 cobra?

I have the mac catted h with the magnaflow catback and I love the sound not overly loud at crusin speed but at wot it is very aggresive sounding, I had magnaflow catted x and magnaflow catback on my 03 cobra and did not like the boat sound at idle, catted h and magnaflow catback has very lttle drone

So, on your 03 Cobra you did not like the catted x...would you say that if you had the catted h-pipe with the Magnaflow you would have like the sound? Also, do you know if the same h-pipe that goes on the GTs will go on the 03-04 Cobras. THANKS

It isn't as loud as many stangs are. To me, it's a middle way. You can drive normally to the point where you won't be noticed by 95% of the population. Or, you can hit it and you'll be heard. Once again, you won't be heard as far as someone with an o/r pipe and SLPs for example, but it is noticeable.

I would of liked the catted h on my cobra better, just my opinion, I like the old school throaty sound better than the boat like exotic sound. I guess the 4v cobra motor also does sound a little different than my gt's 2v. I believe the midpipes are the same for the cobra and gt, but I would check with the place you buy it from.
