Took the full Jones boar racing mufflers,x pipe,deleted resonator,and 3" pipes and mine is 2013 LFX. What do you think all that would give me to the crank including the headers if I got those installed also?

I can't really tell you how much to the crank. Every car is diff I have what u have. But with hfc before. Plus a ported manifold and a manifold spacer and a air scoop, I was making 280 to the wheels in automatic

If you're still worried though you can always get these http://bigdaddiesgarage.com/mini-cat...O2%20Simulator

Oo alright I'll double check with my tuner to make sure the back ones aren't factored in. Thank you

[QUOTE=crc91;8512132]Are the car less louder then the catted versions? Would either set up make my mrt v1s louder

I would think it woukd make them louder than the catted ones im stock just have intake a headers they sound good together.

Update: Never did get the O2 extenders or hear from Steve ever again. So I purchased them myself from Big Daddies Garage. I decided also to purchase a Magnaflow Tru X Crossover pipe to replace the stock H pipe. Just got the final piece yesterday. Should have some video by Tuesday I would think.

Going drag racing next Saturday, same track as my baseline runs, so we'll see what the results are like.

To sum up ARH you will receive a nice down pipe at a good price. Nothing else. No matter what you are told by them.

So I really think I screwed up putting the Magnaflow Tru X Crossover pipe on. It sounds like complete and utter sh-t in a specific range during acceleration! I'm going to be getting rid of that as soon as I can. I will be replacing it with a resonated x pipe and deleting the stock resonators. It should be fine then.

No codes so far. Video should be done in a few...

First start was cold. Second was warm. You'll hear in the middle of acceleration for a second or two it sounds like the exhaust is rattling apart. Horrible rasp!!! Then it goes back to normal. It's gotta be the Tru X.

Initial thoughts...worth it? There are catted versions right?

It's worth it. The issues aren't from the ARH pipes. They fit perfect. Easy install. Sound good. My issues are from my decision to put a Tru X pipe on at the same time. I should've went my instincts and got the resonated X pipe or stuck with the stock H pipe. There are catted versions also. During normal driving you can't tell the difference between stock. I would imagine the catted version would be the same. With the Big Daddies Garage Mini O2 CEL Fix you should have no problems without a tune. Other than a sweet spot during acceleration they are awesome. I'll have time slips on Saturday to see what, if one, the improvement is.

Once again, you will not get anything but the pipes no matter what ARH tells you. You won't even get a sticker, even though you were promised one. Just accept that and order online and don't bother getting BS'd over the phone. The quality of the product is very very good. The support from sales / customer service, not so much.

Where are they online? I can't seem to find them...

Thanks! Looking forward to the track times!

I know this may be slightly off topic, but I'm having my Solo HFC installed tomorrow (if the weather holds out) and I'll do drag strip updates after I drive the car for a while.

The resonated x pipe is going on Friday morning. We'll see if that fixes it.
