well right now i have catted x-pipes and just wondering if i switch to off-roads will i notice a difference in performance? also what will i need to install the x-pipes? thanks... jon

Sure. It will also be louder, stink and noticably illegal.

All you would need is a ratchet and an endwrench.

You'll notice the difference. It will be a lot louder which most people like and will definately open up a little more power for you. Most shops shy away from the install however if you pay them cash and they don't give a receipt some will do it. I know of one if you want pm me [patriot]

More HP=More noise...good bolt-on...dont forget to get MIL Eliminators for you off-road application.

good lookin out! so some mil eliminators and im good huh. then my ride will be louder, ILLEGAL, stanky, faster and shops pussy out too (lucky my boy is my mechanic)!!! anyways i always wanted to see how my ride will sound like with off-road X's, some spintech mufflers and hopefully some headers! thanks... jon

Tell ya what i got a prochamber and 2 chamber flows...and it sound really good and deep but it definitely does stink up the interior but the sound and power is all worth it...i might have it for sale(prochamber & mils) soon let me know...

I have an off road pipe on my Stang and I dont ever get a smell in the interior....Maybe these guys are talkin because they have turn downs?...I have the full 2.5" Flowmaster cat back, and have no problems with smell....Its only when you're outside behind the car you can smell it being a little "rich"...

Posted by TRIX02GT (Member # 2844) on :

The smell isn't tooo bad but i like to drive w/ the windows down so your clothes will have the exhaust scent...smells like an old school muscle car but not too bad....oh yeah depending on the mufflers the prochamber and 2 chamber flows sound better than x-pipes...but that's just my opinion

if yer looking for loudness go with the x pipe, but if yer looking for power...here is the lowdown...seen it on the dyno same motor..
if yer going with cats- h pipe better hp and TQ, if yer going off road then x pipe better power but up higher RPMs

What other mods do you have?

Posted by chronicsmokin281 (Member # 1649) on :

i have steeda pulleys and timing ajuster, C&l 85mm mass air, 70mm throttle body, catted x-pipes, 2 chamber flows, 3.73 gears, intake spacer and some suspension upgrades.

also just got the off-road x-pipes early today so now just waiting to buy some shorty headers, and gonna install the pipes and spintech mufflers then! jon

I had it like this,,,first I installed and off road x pipe,,,good power, sounded a little good but lots of noise inside of the car, I got tired of it, I just installed a pair of HIGH FLOW CATS and power seem very good, noise inside the car got away, very happy with the sound overall..01Gt

His car smokes chronic so it should have a sweet, pungent odor.
