x-pipe help!!
i ordered an off-road x-pipe but was sent the wrong one. I was sent one with cats. Is there a difference in performance? I know the one with cats is a lot more expensive, but i wanna get the most performance out of one. What about sound....whats the differnce. Please help, i dont know whether to send it back or not

Hey dude I would send it back and get what you ordered. Yes there is a difference in performance and a difference in sound. With the cats on the flow is more restricted and it is quieter.

I am not sure but I would just send it back and get the right pipe.
It's worth the wait.

I would sell the pipe on ebay or something to make myself some $$. Then I would just order another off-road with probably less than half of the money you could make selling the 2 cat pipe.
