Catless H installed

fullboogie · September 29th, 2008, 05:15 PM

A week or so ago I put on a Pypes catless H. The quality is good, but the clamps were total crap and caused leaks. I bought some 4" wide SS band clamps from NAPA and installed those, and no more leaks. One more issue - the driver's side hanger was rubbing on the tranny crossmember bolt, so I had to heat it and bend it about 1/4". Problem solved.

With Magnaflow mufflers (regular, not magnapacks) it just sounds awesome. It actually sounds a lot like my old 5.0's, which is what I was looking for. Real deep, not buzzy, and no problem having a conversation with the windows up. Hit the pedal and it wails.

I know this has been done before, so I only want to confirm that with a few tweaks this is a good quality piece and well worth the $150. New clamps will run you $20.

Yo Mick - how did those longtubes work out? My knuckles are still healing from that whole deal.

I love my o/r h-pipe and Magnaflows. Not only sounds great, but also has no drone. After finding this combination, I would only install an o/r x-pipe on a S197 that was to be used solely at the track. Although my set up includes BBK shorties, an o/r h-pipe, Magnaflows and long tube headers sounds great too, but better at WOT..

They are pretty much done...still couldnt get that last header bolt you and I worked at...fucking impossible given the ground clearance we were working with...might have to have it finished at a shop unless I can get some better equipment

Just Curious....do you have a intake/tune as well or did you use MIL eliminators? I was looking at you sig and didnt see an intake listed. Also if your using MILs what brand are they? Thanks
