Advice on Roush H pipe

[High Velocity]

So I ordered a Roush H pipe and I am wondering if I should return it and buy the Steeda one instead.

The reason I am considering this is because I noticed the Steeda has an extra brace welded on and I had read where on other brands they can crack if they don't have that extra brace.

Also if you guys think I should just keep the Roush, Should I buy vibrant exhaust clamps or are the Roush ones good enough? I'll include a picture of each so you can see how the Steeda one has the extra welded brace.

FWIW I've had the super low end Accelatec mild steel H pipe transplanted to 3 different mustangs. Several years and 20k miles later and I've yet to have a weld crack or the pipes deform in any way.
No input on the included clamps as I had mine welded in.

I literally bought the cheapest H pipe(pypes) and have had it on for 2 years and 30,000+ miles and it hasn't cracked. A tack weld at all of the connection points makes sure nothing moves around. You could always weld in a brace across the pipes for a LOT less money!

Hey OP,

Honestly, I haven't come across a lot of cracking personally.

As far as the Clamps, it depends on if the Roush Clamp is a single use clamp or not (and if you have installed it.)

Both the Vibrant Performance 1171 TC Series Heavy Duty Exhaust Clamp - 2.5in and our Steeda 60-9925-100 Premium Heavy Duty Exhaust Clamp - 2.5in are both double wall, re-usable clmaps.

I've had the Roush H pipe on for almost two years now without any problems. Very strong and sturdy steel and their clamps are as well.

Thanks, do you know if they are single use clamps or are they reusable like the vibrant clamps and steeda premium clamps that steeda mentioned in the comment above yours?

Yes they are reusable clamps.
