Xhaust Work

So I Am Getting Rid Of My Stock Midpipe And Wanted To Go With A Catless One

My Friend Can Straight Pipe It From The Headers To My Flowmaster Set Up In The Rear. Is This Good? Should I Buy A Name Brand Premade Midpipe? Whats The Difference

That all depends on what your friend is capable of.....I have yet to see a fabricated mid pipe that is as nice as a bolt in H or X pipe. Will he put it in with ball flanges or weld it straight to the mufflers? If he does not install ball flanges like factory then good luck when it comes to having to service the transmission, you'll have to cut off the exhaust and reweld it.

What about sensors and backpressure? Would'nt that alter the computers memory and affect low torque output?

You need the Oxygen sensors in there but it doesn't affect anything with the computers memory, only how it functions based on the readings of those sensors.

Back pressure is needed but mufflers will give enough back pressure, I don't think torque output is even going to be a factor here.

The 2 oxygen sensors I have though are before any of the cats, so it will not even alter the readings I will get with the cats being off.

I am going to see what his plans are on doing with the route and the way he is going to connect it (pretty sure it is ball flanges) I can not see him going the cheap weld it on way.

Otherwise I was just going to get a new Mac H-Pipe off ebay for $120 + S&H, and then install it myself.

If you get the Mac, you'll regret it.
BBKs fit a hell of a lot better.
