Mid Pipe ? (aftermarket to stock manifold)

[RSH427R]

I was told today (by a vendor) that the 05-09 GT and the 07-09 GT500 use the same mid pipe. (I know one is a H and one is an X) Does anyone know if this is true? They sure do look like they would interchange. I have my stock GT mid pipe to compare but its in my attic and I am lazy.

Thanks

GT500 has x pipe

GT has h pipe

^^^^^:read:

Thanks though

Let me clarify my question a little better. I recently ordered a new X pipe for my GT500. The particular brand I wanted does not have a part number for the GT500. The vendor said the GT and GT500 are the same so he ordered me a GT model number for my GT500. It has not come in yet and I am questioning the validity of his statement.

I see
sorry, yes I believe that both the GT and GT500 use 2.5" tubing and should be interchangable
not 100% sure, about 99%

sorry

No prob. I had them go to a different brand that offered one for the GT500.(wanted to be safe) The interesting thing is that they may be the same and all the vendors charge more for the GT500 part number. :dw:

what brand did you go with

well.... the 5gt is for a gt.

as long as it is the same diameter i would imagine it would work:shrug: which one was he saying would work and which one did you switch too?

The midpipes from a GT and a GT500 are Not interchangable.Magnaflow now makes a catted x-pipe for the GT500 that will bolt up to the stock manifolds part # 16433.

He said they would all bolt up:shrug: He talked me into a BBK (for GT) to save a few bucks. I ended up canceling that and went with JBA catted X. I have the stock H from my Roush. When I do the swap I will see if it fits.

I had a MRT Catted H on my Roush. The first is a picture of that setup. The second is a picture from their website of the GT 500 Catted H. Assuming they bolt up they look pretty close.

alot of people are looking for a hpipe to use with the KR's so I too would be interested in knowing if the GT hpipe will work on the GT500

SLP makes a catted and non-catted X for the GT500s.

I would think that due to the taller deck height of the 5.4 (vs the 4.6) that the mid pipes wouldn't interchange. I would suspect that the 5.4 midpipe is a tad wider. I know the catbacks match up though, for whatever that's worth.

i love that MRT H pipe, thats what i want

Post a sound clip when you get it installed. I have the 3inch JBA catback and they offered to do the catted XPipe install even though Im in CA and technically the cats cant be changed. Im curious as to how it sounds different if at all.

Build your own midpipe. I wanted to buy one, check couple of sites and the were in the 400's $ and for me I would have to add like 100$ for shipping to Puerto Rico. So my mechanic built one, Bought stainless steel tubes and it cost like 250, i run no cats and I used factory O2 sensor and no check engine light. Plus my midpipe is 3', and many midpipes for the gt500 are offered in 2.5'.

It sounded great on my Roush. I want to try the X this time, since that's what the car comes with. If I don't like it, I will certainly go back to the MRT.

It's going to take 6 weeks to come in:shrug: But I will certainly post a clip. I love the sound of the Corsa(s) at wot but I want a little more sound at lower RPM(s) and idle. JBA is some expensive stuff though. Hopefully I get what I am looking for.

 

[me32]

so does that mean you might sell the MRT midpipe

 

[RSH427R]

No it went with the Roush because I figured it wouldn't fit. I was confirming that I did like the product and will go back if the I don't like the sound of the JBA/Corsa combo.
