Who you going to find to shut the rear 02 sensors off? As mentioned in previous posts, most tuner companies will no longer shut off the rear 02 sensors because it violates federal emission laws in addition to violation of the EPA clear air act!

Off road x-pipe is on with my flowmaster outlaw axle backs and my car sounds awesome and is loud as hell... it took a little bit to get it changed out but I did it and I'm happy with the outcome and the sound

Off-road X pipe places to buy

So I’m looking for a off-road x pipe at the moment. I can’t find a place that sells a good brand because they’re either out of stock or discontinued. I did find one on Summit Racing by a company called PaceSetter. I’ve never heard of them before and they didn’t have the best reviews. Does anyone happen to know where I can buy a good quality off-road x pipe from a reputable company?

X-pipe

I just sold mine last week...I had to put my cats back on for inspection if I had known you needed them you could have got them... But anyways most places don't sell them anymore because of the EPA but your best bet would be to get one that has high flow cats or look on Facebook market place they have them on there.... There is allot of mustang groups on Facebook you can find about anything you want for your cars...I seen a bbk off road x-pipe the other day on there.... Just look around you should find one ... The bottom one is what I had I think it was pacesetter brand and it worked good for me and sounded great ...I just didn't want to keep changing it out every year

you might want to review Casey's experience in this thread, before you go ahead with that . . . . but a pipe is just a pipe, as long as it fits on both ends, it "should be fine"

I'm sure your also aware that high-flow cats are not guaranteed to pass OBDII emissions inspection scan.. I actually ran a MAC high-flow catted Pro-Chamber from 2006-08, however, it would not pass OBDII emissions scan inspection, therefore I ended up having to swap back and forth between the high-flow catted Pro-Chamber and OEM catted mid-pipe, just in order to pass OBDII emissions inspection.
Needless to say, after 2 years of swapping back and forth, I finally ditched the high-flow catted Pro-Chamber and spliced in the Pypes cut"n"clamp X pipe to the OEM catted downpipes..
In the end, it just wasn't worth the hassle in having to swap back and forth for me every year prior to emissions inspection

For me personally, it just got to be too much of a hassle in always having to jack the car up, putting it up on jack stands, and then crawling underneath the car on my back.. At 63 years old, it's just too stressful on my joints/muscles when it comes to laying underneath a car on my back

I know exactly what you mean, which was also my reason for just saying the heck with it.. For myself personally, my car sounds loud and good enough running Borla ATAK axle backs paired with the stock catted downpipes and Pypes cut"n"clamp X mid-pipe for my particular needs

I would definitely agree with Flowmaster outlaws as being pretty loud.. If interested in getting a cut and clamp x-pipe, you really can't go wrong with the Pypes X.. I've had it on my car for over 2 years with no negative issues.. Here's a link and image attached below.. As for some people who say high-flow cats won't pass OBDII emissions inspection, I was one of those people lol.
