Opinions on getting an offroad H

[grandestang]

I have about $200 max to spend on an upcoming mod before heading back to school. I've limited it down to either uprgrading from the Triax to the MGW or getting an off road H. My current power mods are JLT RAI and weld in flows. I think the O/R H would really wake the car. I know you can get the eliminators to get rid of the check engine light, but I would need to pass the visual inspection at the emmisions facility. I've seen people pass with an O/R H in Illinois, but it still seems risky, any opinions on this?

Also what brand do you suggest for the O/R H? I want something that will bolt up very easily in my driveway to save on the cost. Is this a pretty decent power mod? Also does it get so loud where daily driving is very annoying? I do a lot of highway driving so this is pretty important.

If anyone can suggest anything else under 200 bucks I can get too that'd be helpfull, but I think the O/R H is the way to go. Oh and no gears, because I'm not installing them, and that would take it well outta my price range now.

Are u only looking for an H-pipe, or is an X-pipe also an option? You can get a BBK h-pipe for really cheap used.

I prefer the throatier sound of the H-pipe so yeah I'm just looking for an H-pipe.

Go with the BBK then, you should be able to find one for $100.

I have a BBK O/R H-pipe and Flowmaster mufflers, and it sounds good. I get people almost every time i go out telling me how mean it sounds. I had a older lady looked to be in her late 50's early 60's tell me how she loved the sound of my Cobra, now that one shocked me!

How bad is the drone on the highway? I have flows so I'd have the same setup as you. I drive almost 50 highway miles a day in the summer so it can't be so loud that I can't listen to music.

Did you pick up any "seat of the pants" feeling with the O/R H?

The drone on the highway isnt bad at all given you keep the RPMs above 2k-2200. Thats the range that your mufflers drone at. If youre doing 75-85 you shouldnt have a problem, especially if you have taller gears. When all else fails, turn up the radio

I'd go with the h

 

[Red98CobraStang]

if you want it throaty and mean muscle sounding, get the H. If you like a more exotic bad a$$ tone, and a little more SOTP gains, than get the X. Ive seen dynographs where an o/r X puts down 5 more rwhp than an o/r H.... Go on ebay, you can get a upr o/r x for 130 including shipping. heres some links to get ya started:
