Default SLP PowerFlo-X Crossover Pipe QUESTION

I have an 05 GT with SLP loudmouth axle back exhaust. My question is if the SLP PowerFlo-X Crossover Pipe with cats would add that much of a difference with horsepower/sound for the money, and also even though it has cats, would it be emissions legal in NJ? Would it void my warranty?

With a tune, you may notice a small power increase. Nothing drastic. With the highflow cats, you'll also notice an increase in sound and the x-pipe will make a higher pitched, raspier sound than the factory H-pipe. If you plan to add longtubes later, I might would wait as the new X-pipe will be too long cause it's made to reach the factory manifolds. You should be fine on the warranty and emissions issues. And if it were me, I would get a C&L or JLT intake and a tune. Much more noticeable power increase.

i live in jersey too. i think u might have a problem with that x pipe because the cats are relocated in another place rather than stock. i bought MagnaFlow Performance Exhaust becuase it retains the stock look and i should in theory pass a visual exam.

That X pipe is made to be used with shorties (stock manifold) and SLP long tube headers. Kinda cool huh? I just installed mine.

i think ill just get the AIRAID intake without the tune for now, for the sound, then later add mid pipes and tune....

as long as you have cats its fine. you will most likely pass. every car needs cat in order to pass. and as of HP, no you wont see a difference. if you do prob. only like 5. But as of sound, youll ntice a huge difference.

Geez Vinny it only took me one set. The problem isn't the cats, it's their size and the fact that the X makes them hang too darned low. I hit them on everything until they eventually came apart. Almost cost me my engine.
