Who should I go with on my 03 cobra. I have a magnaflow cat back already. I have quotes on BBK and Magnaflow. But what about pypes or the ones I see on ebay.

And with an offroad x pipe what I do about the sensors when you have no cats? Can i shut it off with my hand held tuner?

Thanks guys

I also bought MIL eliminators from AM for the CEL. Works like a charm.

sensors

keep them in .. but you will have a check engine light with no cats, you will need it turned off in your tune

...i dont believe a hand held can turn it off

the cheaper ones like Pypes, summit, UPR, etc etc, tend to have more issues with fitment. (hanging low, not lining up with flanges without a little shoehorning) while the more expensive brands like Magnaflow, SLP, and Bassani usually fit much much better. Mid-priced brands like MAC and BBK are usually hit or miss...

everyone will have different experiences, but you usually get what you pay for... and if at all possible, go stainless...

I have UPR and me and my buddies have been running UPR's for a while and never had a problem. If I were to ever swap it would be only for a VRS because it shares the same design but stainless steel. Stainless Steel is the way to go.
