h-pipe question

juan310 · March 11th, 2007, 04:15 PM

i want to get an h-pipe for my 00' v6 but dont know which one to get

im looking for perfomance and quality but not too expensive. it also needs to be emissions legal CA)

choices
- custom h-pipe adapter
keeps my stock cats, don't know from where to buy and if there just as good
- brand name(mac/ps/bbk) h-pipe
mandrel bent, dont know which one will fit, i think it will leave me with just 2 cats

whats the best choice?

depending on what you can spend I think flowmaster or a magnaflow if you want a muscle car sound

get the h-pipe from macperformance.com then flow 40s sound best IMO get it for shorttube headers/stock manifold because you dont have Longtubes and they arent emmissions illegal in your state so to sum it up

H-pipe-macperformance.com, get high flow cats

Flowtubes-macperformance.com

flowmaster 40s offset inlet and offset outlet 2.5 inch-lmperformance.com

it'll be about a good amount of money since you need to buy cats

Longtube headers aren't legal in CA? Dangit, I was looking into exhaust systems too and I heard longtubes were better...

juan310 · March 11th, 2007, 04:50 PM

i dont wanna buy a catted h-pipe since i know they're more expensive

i wanna get an h pipe that will leave me with my stock cats and be emssions legal

is getting an h-pipe adapter the only route

juan310 · March 11th, 2007, 05:11 PM

what im saying is whats a better choice

h-pipe adapter or a mac h pipe that will leave me with just 2 cats

or are they the same?

scubasteve041186 · March 11th, 2007, 05:11 PM

mac H will flow nicer but probably cost you more.

scubasteve041186 · March 11th, 2007, 05:12 PM

+1 for mac anyways

juan310 · March 11th, 2007, 05:22 PM

nope the h pipe is purely for sound and maybe a bit of performace..

anyways

oka mac but which one? specifically?

um the non catted ones but thats my perfernce sinc ei don;t have emmision laws against it yet lol. personally if you think your car might get inspected or some stupid reason get the catted ones

Mustang RacR94 · March 11th, 2007, 10:08 PM

the cheapest option would be go to an exhaust or muffler shop, have them cut the exhaust off after the cats and run true duals and go without the H pipe to flow 40s, but an h-pipe balances out the exhaust pulses, an h-pipe or x-pipe doesnt do as much on a v6 compared to an 8(duh) but there not as important on a 6, i think it might be northeast northwest or northcoast performance.com ill get the site name in a min that offers an adapter kit so you can hake the merge point on the y-pipe and clamp this peice in and itll be like an h pipe ill put the site up thnen

www.nthcoast.com/V6.html

its all the way on the bottom not sure if thats what it is thu

actually......not sure about this at all but you might be able to cut off before you y-pipe runs into a Y and clamp on a offroad H pipe on to the left over two pipes that come down from you headers and u'd still have ur cats NOT ENCOURGING THIS AT ALL just sayin it might work

......... <--cut off here put off road h pipe on

GreenFaleen · March 11th, 2007, 11:11 PM

No one makes a emissions H-pipe for the v6. Go to a muffler shop have them put in a crossover pipe in Cali thats gonna be your best bet.

juan310 · March 12th, 2007, 01:42 AM

okay then....im heading towards just getting an h-pipe adapter but i dont know if its better than getting a mac
