Can you use the stock h pipe ?
@MitchCarveth2 жыл бұрын
Unfortunately you cannot, the headers move the H pipe too far back. I recommend the xpipe, it adds a bit more power and far better sound.

I have spent more money on mods n tryin to make my cars faster than what i would want to admit. I am just havin a hard time spending $1000 plus on headers. It looks like you can spend less n get the same results.
@MitchCarveth3 жыл бұрын
Agreed, that's why I went with the speed engineering headers at almost half the price of other headers for the same power gains.
