ARH mid length header options
Just saw that the mid's come cat and non cat, so i see 3 options, what would you guys recommend:
1. Non catted mid headers, use factory catted x pipe.
2. Non catted mid headers w high flow cat xpipe.
3. Catted Mid headers, off road x pipe?
thanks!

I installed ARH mid-length with cats.
I decided not to go with long tubes because they will give you a check engine light if you keep the stock tune. If you change the tune to keep from getting the check engine light and you have to make a warranty claim due to engine failure, there is a good possibility it will be denied.
Yes, the LT and tune will improve power, but I wanted to keep the warranty and stock tune, so I went with the mid-length. I have HP Tuners so I could have changed the tune, but I want to keep the motor warranty as much as possible.
