Random Technology intermediate with cats and TPIS
I'm looking to change out my intermediate piping with RT X pipe system #752722... I already have the TPIS, Stingers, and the G5 H/C package. I thought about the LG system, but they are pricey$$$... With the TPIS and RT I would be at $1350 (I got the TPIS at a GP price a while back for $750) which is considerably less then LG's kit.
I know I won't gain as much HP with this setup when compared to LG's, but what do you guys/gals honestly think about the benefits? Do you think it will change my HP and TQ by much? Is it worth getting rid of my stock piping? :cheers: :chevy

I'm interested in this as well. Anyone have dyno/track results?
If you're running the stock hpipe AND stock cats, there's no doubt in my mind you'd pick up some hp/tq. Just not sure how much.

No dyno runs here, but I have them...
Definitely sweet.....
They fit into the TPIS long tube headers, have high flo cats, built in X pipe, going into my GHL exhaust... :smash:

Not sure what I got, but it was all direct slip fit.
My installed also welded them, but that was not necessary at all.

Re: Random Technology intermediate with cats and TPIS (hrdtopv8)
does anyone have any pics?
does this X-pipe come with the high flow Cats as well?
Or is it just an X-pipe that bolts on AFTER the stock cats?

Parker were the Random Tech cats on for the 424 rwhp pull. I'm thinking about a very close setup to yours. X1 or F1 cam with some sort of stage 2 heads. Already have the TPIS and most of the bolt ons. :cheers:
