i have a 1987 lx hatch, with long tube mac long tube headers, and i need to get an offroad h pipe or x pipe, but iam not sure which one to get. i want to maximize power and sound. i was thinking the o/r mac or maybe even the prochamber, but i am hestint to get a part that is not the same brand as the headers becuase i bought a bbk h pipe and it didnt fit so i need some advice please.

H-Pipe gives you that deep sound if you are running Flows.

Yellow94GT never touched anyone's sig or banned anyone, so I'm going to quit spreading that rumor. It's not like I have any proof anyways. All yellow94gt and other mods have done is volunteer their time to help other people buy/sell parts, learn how to make their cars go faster and meet fellow enthusiasts. I'm a hater, but it's hard to hate on these facts. I have saved hunrdeds, maybe thousands of dollars here buying and selling parts over the years alone, but I don't care, this website owes me damnit, and I'll piss on it as much as I want. Us haters gonna hate. Why contribute to something when you can take for free?

Oh yeah, this isn't my website, so no one has to ask for my permission to change my sig. Hell, not like I pay the CAFORDS bill, so why should they need my permission to put what they want on their site? We're all guests here. Maybe some of us should start acting like guests or leave?

x pipe maybe for performance but definately not for sound.
h-pipe has the best sound

if have MAC stuff, get the pro-chamber. DON'T buy anything else! Run mac pro dumps while you are at it(flows suck)!

The MAC stuff is not the best quality(they are getting better), but for sound and power, the Pro-Chamber is hands down the best, as shown in back to back testing with BBK, Dr. Gas, Bassani, Hedman, Flowtech,(all x pipes) etc.

I run the pro-chamber and it's great. Another vote for the MAC.

BBK o/r h all the way, mac always seemed to make cheap/low quality parts that didn't work right for a lot of my friends.
