I don't see this as a tech question, so I posted it here. I am getting an order together, so Chris can take some more of my money :icon_joke and I am thinking about the Mustang Tuning catted X pipe. Right now I have the SLP catback. Does anyone have this setup? Or have heard the catted version of the MT X pipe? I am going to keep my car street legal, so I'm gonna stay with my cats.

 

I have it but I'm not too sure what I think about it just yet. I have tightened every bolt 3 times and theres still a leak...I've decided I'm gonna take the copper header gasket maker and put it everywhere there is a connection in the pipe. Also, I have the catted x with mils and theres still a check engine light coming on-this could be from a bad o2 sensor, but I don't think so because it started coming on right after I installed the pipe. The sound is ok, definately louder, but more like a camaro. Maybe my opinion will change after everything gets worked out

 

I took my MT x-pipe off because of a leak but decided about 3 months ago to put it back on and I fixed the anoying leak by bending the flange in to make it tighter. My MIL's fixed the Check light and I haven't had a problem with the setup since I put it back on. SLP and the MT X-pipe are wicked loud.

 

So you have to get MIL's on the catted X pipe?

 

no, he just has catless x-pipes, but maybe you would into the same leak problem with the catted ( i guess that was the point of his post???)

:nike:

 

mines catted and still needed MILS

 

MT reccomends MIL's even with their catted pipe.

 

Mine is catted but the check engine light came on after my 6th run down the 1/4 mile during the fall. So after my car started to run like crap I got some MIL's and installed them and haven't had a problem since. I actually got the MT X-pipe off of Chris at the warehouse. The thing had a wicked leak for 2 months before I decided to take it off. After having it off for a month or so I put it back on but after I tightened the female adapter on the left side of the pipe. It sealed up really tight and I have had no problems other than when I try to drive quitely around town. The problems with the catted pipe is that the stupid heat sheild around it kept on cracking after I had it welded 2 times I just removed the sheild. Vibrated way to much kinda like what some bad systems sound like when you pull up next to rice. Simple enough fix for me I just hope during the summer it doesn't get too hot under there and melts stuff! It is a good pipe and it is cheaper than SLP which I would have bought in the first place but funds prevent that from happening.

 

Why dont you put a band clap around it like the muffler repair kits comes with.

 

Magnaflow Catted X here

High Quality.

 

I put a Flowtech Xpipe on mated to a Magnaflow Cat back i put on 2 weeks ago, Nice SOTP boost. My gtech accel Meter, i test 40 to 65 mph to rule out tire spin picked up some Gs. So definitly worth it. Car sounds a lot better. I have no leaks. I have a Mig welder and was ready to fire it up, but No leaks.


I put Some UPR mils i bought on it. Check engine light was on until i unhooked the battery to reset the computer. Drove it yesterday and today. No Light.
