Which H pipe to use with flowmaster40

Dragster690 · 03-10-2005, 08:38 PM

This is my first post here on the board and i am wondering which h or x pipe will work the best with stock headers and flowmaster 40series for sound. The flows sound great, but i still want more sound with cats to keep it legal. Would SLP be a good choice or is there something better? Thanks for the help!

dude, the bassani catalytic x-pipe mated right up. it actually made my car a little quieter, but sweetened the tone...i like it. as far as performance gains, the gain was very minimal, which in actuality most h/x pipes will be from what i've seen and heard about. don't expect more than 10 hp from any x/h pipe. i've also got the flowmaster 40's, they were a great mod. nice roar at full throttle, burble on downshifts, nice steady sweet tone at highway speeds. can't complain. mine are gettin rusty though, looking at MAC's next.

If you don't feel like paying for the cost of a Bassani, a MAC H-Pipe will work just fine...
