About 15 horsepower with no torque loss.

 

thats what i wanted to hear.

 

Just skip the BBK ones, they leak. I've got a set I bought from Jegs, and they haven't leaked a bit in 12000 miles.

 

i have i jba that came with the h-pipe

 

I took mine off also but not sure abt the hp gain. LOVE the sound thought!!

 

Then you should be fine.

 

Or you can get a o/r mid pipe for 100 bucks more then The bbk cats deletes.

 

+1 This. I bought the bbks and should have just went with the o/r h pipe (sound pref) with a little more change.

 

removing the cats but leaving the super restrictive stock H is rather pointless. While you will have gains, probably closer to 5hp compared to removing the cats and swapping to a 3" mid pipe.

The stock H is mostly restricted to 2.25".

 

i dont have a stock h-pipe i have the jba 3inch

 

Can you get away without cats in VA? Or do you have to swap back for emissions?

 

i will change back come inspection time

 

added my cat delete today that cam with my jba h-pipe all i can say is wow im very happy the exhaust sounds good normal driving its tame but sounds really nice just like a old school muscle car but wot damn the beast is alive.the car seems to run alot better cant say how much hp i pick up but i know i didnt loss any torque feel like i gain just want wanted to share this with you guys

 

Who makes a quality O/R H pipe that'll bolt up to stock manifolds and OTA pipes without costing a crap load?

 

Lethal.

 

i had all my piping welded in no clamps

 

i have never used clamps on a exhaust set welded or not at all.im replacing the resonators next week with 3inch dynomax race bullets to clean up the sound alittle i was told that they work good giving a more deep tone

 

Sweet, I think I'm actually going to just hold off until I get LT's and do it all at once.
