H-pipe worked out - 7/25/2006 11:11:11 AM    Thomas Ford Posts: 283 Joined: 4/10/2006 Status: offline Had the H-pipe installed and the sound is way better than the "high pitched "rattle" at higher rpms. The sound is more mellower and less annoying. The chrome tips look way cool too!!

Is your H-pipe an all-weld job, or did they clamp the different pieces together?

I want a deep throaty sound and I think this is the best way to get it. My question is: is the difference in sound between dual GT take-off mufflers vs. the flowmasters worth the extra cash? I've listened to soundclips of flowmasters and GT's but it's hard to appreciate the true difference between the two without physically being there to hear it. (in reply to Thomas Ford) Post #: 3

I have dual flowmaster 40 series with a custom h pipe and it sounds great (in reply to Black06Auto) Post #: 4

RE: H-pipe worked out - 7/25/2006 3:55:47 PM    Thomas Ford Posts: 283 Joined: 4/10/2006 Status: offline Its an all weld job. Came out good I watched the guy do it. Sounds way smoother and not raspy when you rev it. I think Flowmasters are worth the extra cash; they're not that much more really. And when its done you'll be grinning down the highway for years to come!!

RE: H-pipe worked out - 7/26/2006 10:17:32 AM    Thomas Ford Posts: 283 Joined: 4/10/2006 Status: offline My guy charged me $80 to weld the H pipe in there. Took him about 2 hours, a bit less. I had straight throughs before. The $80 included chrome tips too! Looks cool and sounds mellower yet deep and rich. I heard Y pipe set ups make the car high pitched (ricers!! yuck) so I went with the H. Everyone says best choice. I do notice a difference.

All that is done is one hole is burned through each pipe with a torch and then a cross pipe is welded in. _____________________________ (in reply to Thomas Ford) Post #: 9
