Off-road H pipe

[Hernandez94GT]

I am thinking about buying an off-road h pipe for my car but i don't know much about them. what kind or brand is the best what size do i need and what are just the basics about them? I have a stock 1994 GT.

I have one on my 94, they sound great. The only thing that kinda sucks is my car smell like a boat without the cats LOL. But there really nice to have. I think the 94 GT is 2 1/4 or 2 1/2 I cant remember. Oh and BBK is nice, thats what I have. Hope this helps

BBK o/r h-pipe...but what you need to do is buy a 2.5" because most catbacks are 2.5" and alot of header collectors are 2.5"
I have one on my 94 Cobra and it sounds great. It's a little rougher sound compared to the x-pipe

most offroad h pipes are 2.5". so if you still have stock manifolds you may need to pick up some sleeve/adapters to make the 2.5 h pipe work with your 2.25 headers so you wont have any leaks. you can get any muffler shop to build them for you. but then ive also seen people swap mid pipes with no problems at all. the BBK fits great!!

Thanks guys. i Have a set of shorty headers im kind of hesitant to put on. will they make a difference/help/hurt. i don't have a specific brand on them. i really am just looking for inputs ideas and opinions because i have NO IDEA what im doing. anything and everything helps.

 

[F1atlander]

yeah as long as they are aftermarket headers they will help.

 

[auto_x5.0]

Yeah, they will help, when you get your stock manifolds off you will see how restrictive they are. Any aftermarket headers will definitely help

 

[Hernandez94GT]

well they are aftermarket i know that much. Is there anything i need to look out for or watch about all this stuff?

Just make sure the craftsmanship is good with the pieces you buy, name brands are always good. I have jba headers, o/r x-pipe(dont remember brand) had flowmaster american thunder, now I have SLP lm1's. But I've never had a problem, I did most work myself or had a mechanic there with me when I did it. Just make sure you know what your doing and make sure your parts match, you dont want to buy a mid-pipe that's 1" shy of your headers

Buy a Prochamber.

...and has proven time again to make more power than an H-pipe. :dontknow:

 

[Hernandez94GT]

oh. haha. im still new to all this. so if i were to start all new everything for exhaust what would be the best setup? like from headers all the way to tips?

Yeah that extra 1.5hp is a real kick in the butt lol.

I went from a stock H pipe to a Prochamber.

You on the other hand went from a stock H...to a Prochamber...to an X. Were you looking for an extra 2.0 hp?

 

[OnyxCobra]

I've never had an X pipe on my car :dontknow:


Either way I don't know why you're all over my case, I really liked my Prochamber and I'm currently considering one for my LTs...

So what do you have now?
