JBA H pipe?

I have a 14 GT and the only exhaust mod is a Corsa Extreme axle back. Is this the correct H pipe model for my car?

A couple of questions for you:
1. Did the crackling sound go away with the H pipe?
2. Does the muffler stick out more in the back with the H pipe?
3. How much louder did it get with the H pipe?

Thanks..

yes the crackle sound went away once I added hi-flow cats and replaced the resonators with a summit glass pack.no my mufflers didn't stick out more. as far as loud I have the heartthrob flow packs they are loud and deep I get compliments and get ask all the time what exhaust setup are you running

I went o/r h pipe with roush ab. It's a cool deep muscle car sound. It's loud but not high pitched. If your going for that deep tone with some pop/crackle then I think you'll like it. My muffler isn't sticking out any further than it was when I had my stock h pipe on there

Did the stock clamps keep leaking?

You do know your car already has an H-Pipe? Unless you're ditching the cats there really isn't a performance gain.

I am trying to get rid of the crackling sound and also wanted to get a slightly louder, deeper tone from my axleback.

A bigger diameter H will help deepen it but may not help with the crackle. Does your car still crackle once it's warmed up? High flow mufflers with very little back pressure may only pronounce the crackle worse. YouTube is full of exhaust clips of all sorts of combinations. Also I'm a big advocate of staying away from stainless steel. Welded aluminum mufflers give a much cleaner and deeper sound. Stainless tends to give a high pitched ringing tone. You may even want to check into the Mac Prochamber for what you are looking for.

MRT makes an H-pipe and I have this one sitting here brand new in the box:

Why does it say it is for off road use only?

Perhaps a disclaimer? You would need to contact MRT for the answer.
