you might loose a little bit of TQ in the low rpm range with an O/R x pipe.

and you would also get a cel with an O/R pipe.

but you gain the HP/TQ back in the higher rpm band.

and you can get a tuner or mil's to fix the light.

Your midpipe, x or h, will either have the cats(catilytic converters) built in to them if its catted or will be pipes straight through if it is o/r(offroad).
