Default Off Road X-pipe

Hello,

Is this really capable of giving 15hp and 17lbs of torque. Has anyone dynoed this mod. I understand removing the pup cats will give you more hp. Also will the car smell without the pup cats installed, I know the zo6 doesnt have them at all.

Thanks

I have the bassani off road pipe that has 2 x's. It do not think it I picked up the numbers you quoted, but I have nothing to back that up. However, I did run my best et and mph after installing the pipe.

As to the smell, it is noticable be not over bearing with my Bassani cat back. For some reason there is no smell at all with my PRT's at the end of the off road pipe.


The sound is awsome.


Here is a link to my bassani with the off road pipe.

Know don't have to know a way around it if your city does not require an inspection.

I'll have an off road X-Pipe shortly with flages so you can bolt the cats in and out. Should be around $125 with flanges for the cats and X-Pipe.

If you just use the X-pipe in its most common application, to replace the factory H-pipe. You can probably expect 1-5hp on a close to stock car based on what members have posted in the past.
