well finally after owning a bone stock 97 cobra for 3 weeks i ordered up my first mod.
-I got the mac catback. 2.5" with 3" tips. part no. TK9625
my questions is can i just bolt this catback together with no leaks or should i get it welded up after its all put together?
i havnt ordred my mid pipe yet which will be a o/r x pipe. will this system be pretty quiet with the stock h pipe in? i have heard one with o/r x and sounded really good and loud. but no one with the stock mid pipe.
how much hp increase will this mod give on a stock healthy motor? im guessing 4-6 rwhp?

Bolt it up don't get it welded. You will see a minimal (probably not noticable) increase in power. However, you will definitely notice a diff in the sound quality ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
Mac + O/R X will be obnoxious ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

Bolt it on the best you can and head straight to the muffler shop so they can weld and tweak it, you'd never be able to get it to line up.

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?

Yes, you read it right, 31 and just as childish as my fresh out of highschool internet friends@31
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?

I personally wouldn't weld it just for the simple fact, that if you ever have to pull it off for whatever reason then you'll have to cut it.
Just use some of those band clamps.

Dont tighten any clamps until the whole system is installed. I learned the hard way that clamping the system before its all installed and things didnt line up well.

When I put on my o/r H, i would repeatedly get a "afterburner" type sound from the middle of the H connection every time i engaged the clutch to shift or it i down shifted. It was a bitchen combo but i took it off after 3 attempts of getting rid of that crappy noise. Is it only because they werent lined up right? i tried forever even using band clamps and all but should i just get the mid pipe connection welded? this could be another question but its in the same area. Thanks! ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)
