This Pypes Catted X-Pipe is designed to be a direct bolt-on for the 1996 to 1998 4.6L Ford Mustang GTs with either aftermarket short tube headers or the factory manifolds and a dual catback exhaust installed.
This X-Pipe is not CARB certified, therefore it is not legal for use in California or other states adopting California emission standards.
The Pypes Catted X-Pipe is excellent when it comes to balancing out the gas pressures in your exhaust system. This Pypes X-Pipe creates more power and torque than a traditional H-pipe. Why? Because the exiting exhaust pulses are merged at the "X", resulting in less exhaust back pressure for more power.
This free flowing Pypes x-pipe for the 1996 to 1998 GT's not only increases power, but it also adds a raspy, race car growl to the sound of your exhaust with its modern "X" crossover pipe design.
Pypes uses sturdy 16 gauge 409 stainless steel mandrel bent 2.50-inch tubing for improved exhaust flow and features welded reinforcement plates for additional strength. The included High flow catalytic converters far out perform the restrictive factory cats to provide a significant increase in horsepower and torque.
