Pipes???

Fastback91 · September 24th, 2007, 07:45 PM

hey umm this week or next i'm going to take my car in to get an X-pipe but i was wondering if like at 2-4k if there is a sound and horsepower difference. also i was wondering if like on the H-pipe (stock) that it has on it now if i could cut off the middle pipe and reseal the open hole if u guys know what i mean, and does it increase horse power and sound or does it decrease , and does still pass emissions in california..??

also i wanted to know if Longtube headers mess up your emissions?

you will hear a nice sound increase all through out your rmp band with an x or h pipe.

don't cut up your stock h. it will sound like ass.

yes an x pipe will increase your HP

as long as you have a catted pipe you will pass.

K so my emissions should stay the same if i get longtubes

HMUSN · September 24th, 2007, 07:54 PM

not in CA.

my suggestion... get an AZ plate if you plan on modding your car or find someone that will "pass you" near TJ.

Fastback91 · September 24th, 2007, 08:04 PM

HMUSN · September 24th, 2007, 08:05 PM

but Is the Magnaflow X-pipe legal in Califonia?

jersey98gt · September 24th, 2007, 08:56 PM

HMUSN · September 24th, 2007, 08:58 PM

yes you can pass smog with a magnaflow x pipe as long as it has cats.

and you will still have a nice sounding car.

as long as u have cats on the car it will pass, and sound nice. i have the catless pypes x pipe on my car it sounds sick, but i wouldnt pass. like someone already said, get someone that will "pass you." this girl i know has long tubes, bbk catted x-pipe and slp mufflers and its realllly loud lol. but you ask me, catless; its worth it.

ya i know that now but the thing is though i been reading alot of things saying that the h-piper gives u a lower tone and the X-pipe gives u a high tone. is that true? cuase i'm hoping that like the sound stays the same but just louder

HMUSN · September 25th, 2007, 09:40 AM

they both have very low tones.

the x pipe can be raspy in the higher rpm range though.

I have long tubes and haven't had a problem with inspection. In fact, he called another cobra owner over to check out that I had a cats on it. That guy said he didn't have cats on his and still got it inspected. It helps to know the inspector.
