May need new cats, excuse for x-pipe?
My smog pump siezed a while ago so I got a short belt and ignored it. But I have inspection coming up next month and I think not having air pumped into the cats makes them break down quicker. So most likely I will fail even if I fix the smog pump.
Anyway, if I fail I'll need new cats. Seems much easier and cost effective to buy a performance x or h pipe with cats and install it myself. I've been considering Bassani's and BBK's x-pipe offerings. Bassani seems more popular and offers stainless, but the price is much higher. Anybody have any opinions on which is better and whether the price difference is worth it? Or is an H-pipe more appropriate? My car is stock except for 3 chamber Flowmasters. Thanks, Rich D. |

X-pipes going to cost you more money. Eitherway your not going to see much of a power difference from the H or and X. IT will be a good improvement over stock, but the difference in and H or an X isnt that much.
