Anyone have experience with a magnapack cb with a slp catted x-pipe. Reason why im asking is that I want to be able to pass emissions with keeping the cats. What do u guys think would be a good mid-pipe to go with?

 

Slp or magnaflow ss are 2 of the best for catted pipes. I would try to get some clips of them 2 and find the one you like better.

 

A couple of things i suggest. I don't know how strict emmssion checks are in your state but here in texas, inspectors never go underneath the car to check and see if the car has cats. If you go with a O/R midpipe and get a set of MIL eliminators your car won't throw out any codes. As long as your car doesn't throw a code you car will pass, that is of course the inspector doesn't do a visual check underneath your car. When i had my o/r h, i always passed inspections everywhere i went and got some compliments as well!

IMO if you wanna have a good loud muscle car sound O/R mid pipes are the way to go. But thats just me.

 

yea i mean who doesnt want that sound tho...the whole cat/no cat thing is whats bugging me right now tho

 

My Magnaflow X has cats,and with the Magnapacks I think it's perfect.The X really woke up the CB

 

Are you talking about the ones that you weld behind the stock cats, steeda.com has them i think, magnaflow shorty x-pipe ??

 

You lost me

 

What in the? ...a shorty x-pipe would only be used should you have longtube headers!

 

go to steeda.com, and in their exhaust section they have MagnaFlow "Shorty" X-Pipes.

 

...says you keep your stock cats on with that

 

Yea here it is http://www.steeda.ca/catalogue_product_type_465.asp I would go aftermarket X,the stock converters suck.You would'nt notice much of a difference with that.

 

huuummmm, checked it out, thats the first time i have seen one of those...I don't know how you would gain any more power, since you really arent chaging anything except the Mid pipe design. You will get a different sound tone with going with an x compared to the stock h. You will see no gain as you still get to keep the stock restrictive cats. Aftermarket high-flow cats or no cats is what what will yield you some gains!

 

would a catted slp sound different from a catted magnaflow pipe?

 

I honestly don't think so as they are the same design, all you're buying is the brand!

 

They sound a little bit different but not that much.The Magnaflow X is all one piece and the SLP is a modular system which alows you too go no cats if you want too.

 

how much did u pay for your magnaflow x-pipe??.. would slp be a little cheaper?

 

Mine was $375 plus shipping $400 total.Pretty close to the same price.

 

where did u buy it from?

 

Got it from here http://www.completeexhaust.com/index.php You have to call them to get the best price,ask for Joe.MT has the SLP X here.

 

...thanks for the info
