Help me with a midpipe please!

Sizeth3 · June 12th, 2009, 01:31 AM

So I have searched and done a lot of reading about midpipes. Right now I have a 2001 Mustang Cobra / 5 speed with a Bassani Catback. I basically only have two worries-

I don't want a midpipe that creates an unbearable drone at freeway speeds (I only have 3.27's)

I don't want a midpipe that hangs low. I have read that the BBK midpipe hangs low (it was either the bbk or the SLP).

Can someone please help!

I have two midpipes... both are Kooks, both are X pipes. The offroad midpipe hangs low, but the catted midpipe does not. The reason the O/R pipe hangs low is because it's not one solid piece. I currently have the catted midpipe on. I also have longtubes, and I have a Borla Stinger catback. I've gotten pretty used to the drone. Without cats, there wasn't as much drone, but the extra noise without the cats more than made up for the lack of drone.

I haven't heard much about drone with Bassani catbacks. I've heard plenty of complaints about the lovely Borla drone though. Personally, I like it. I don't know what everyone else will have to say, but I think you'll have less drone to worry about with the Bassani catback and whichever midpipe you go with.

i'd stick with bassani. i have thier catted x-pipe and love it. even with my slp lm1 i have no drone at freeway speeds.

bassani ftw...i dont haves it

but i wants it

ProChamber is good. Doesn't sit real low, although it's a little lower than some x & h pipes.

Reloaded · June 12th, 2009, 06:19 PM

My Prochamber doesn't seem to sit low that I have noticed. I had a bassani catted x-pipe and I seem to remember scraping the cats more often than I've scraped the Prochamber. But really, it's about what kind of sound you want and how loud it is.

I would love a prochamber, correct me if I am wrong but I have to get cats welded onto a prochamber if I get one, correct?

Correct.

Sizeth3 · June 12th, 2009, 08:17 PM

What cats should I look at?

Lefty · June 12th, 2009, 08:31 PM

Honestly...I just bought two universal 2.5" In/Out ones from summit to put on my GT's midpipe. They've worked great so far.

Sizeth3 · June 12th, 2009, 08:43 PM

Also, any opinions on the SLP setup?

It runs $419.99 from Mustang Parts & Performance - American Muscle which seems reasonable...

Xtremist · June 12th, 2009, 08:51 PM

I have the slp. The fit is great, doesn't hang low at all. Combined with my slp lm2 catback it sounds just fine on the highway. Highly recommend it.

Blk04SVT · June 12th, 2009, 09:30 PM

had bassini on 00 gt and didnt haveto worry about draging on speed bumps with a the stance it had.(lowered 1.5")

svt2ner · June 12th, 2009, 11:07 PM

pypes or upr catted x are great, and fit nicely just something else to check out. Pypes comes with the o/r tubes also thats why its usually about 50 bucks more than upr.

Sizeth3 · June 13th, 2009, 02:24 AM

I noticed the Pypes catted X system is only $339.95 shipped, pretty good deal.

I wasn't sure how good the quality was since it is so cheap...

Lefty · June 13th, 2009, 12:26 PM

I've heard there's sometimes some fitment issues w/ pypes.

mblgjr · June 28th, 2009, 09:57 PM

Any kind of real X will sound great. This excludes the Bassani...

SLP or Magnaflow both fit to the floorpan nice and snug.

I'm running a Magnaflow catted w/Bassani CB and love it. Less drone than the Bassani X and a much crisper/cleaner note with no drone anywhere.

93hatch · June 28th, 2009, 11:05 PM

i have longtubes, prochamber, and a bassani catback and its way quieter than i expected it to be

96whitesvtcobra · June 30th, 2009, 04:50 AM

I just put on my mac prochamber a couple hours ago Awesome fit love the sound. Not to load on the highway. I have 4:10's. I took some video's before I put it on with my cell phone I will take some twmr with the prochamber and post a link for them.
