Steeda H-Pipe or AM H-pipe

[joe603]

So not sure if the Steeda price is worth it vs. the American Muscle version...thoughts?

Steeda: $260
AM: $150

The issue with the non-steeda one is that the welds at the H can break due to vibrations. The steeda uses a brace to stop that. Also, the metal used by the AM part is probably going to rust and rot away rather quickly.

Good point...get what you pay for right!

Had Steeda H Pipe installed yesterday by Steeda Performance here locally. Knowing Steeda may be a bit more expensive but having them 15 minutes away in case there are any issues over time is worth the extra cost to me. The sound is better than I expected, wifey says a little on the loud side!.

I roll around in Sport exhaust mode mainly...maybe need to put it to normal when the wife is in the car after the install. lol Track mode when alone!

Biggest difference between those two is the AM uses 409 and Steeda uses 304 stainless steel. That and the brace reinforcement as mentioned.

To soften the blow - we do often a forum discount of 5% off and 10% for law enforcement / military.

Let me know if I can assist further.

Yup, the Borla SwitchFire. It uses magic to combine the best of both worlds with a unique deep tone with zero drone or rasp. I am running one with my OE Active Exhaust. F'n love it!!!!!!!

Did it lower your ground clearance?

If it did I can't tell. It tucked up really nice. I'm also on Steeda springs and shocks.

What about giving 10% to public school teachers? We are on the front lines. Need an H-pipe for my newly acquired 2022.

I think I can make that happen - pm coming your way.

No, it won't. The AM version still uses stainless steel, a lesser grade, but still stainless. 409 will get surface rust, but not rust thru. the better 304 will maintain a shiny surface if you clean and polish it periodically.
