CJPP H-pipe good and bad

[AlmostFamous]

I am still to picky about my car to just let any shop cut into and weld on my car...I am thinking about waiting a little longer to get the AWE touring catback instead.

I just came back from my local muffler shop and they cut open my cjpp h-pipe. It was the same as the op's. they "fixed" it and now it does sound deeper and the flutter is no longer there at idle.

Wow WTF is that. You can't even call that an H pipe. Has CJPP even addressed these yet?

It can't be that much more expensive to cut a bigger hole.

When you pay for a H pipe you think you would get a functional H pipe. You would need to have the pipe cut, opened up, then welded back together. You can add about $70-100 worth of labor to have that done, or whatever the shop charges for a hours worth of time.

How much did it run you if you don't mind me asking? And where did you have it fixed? I'm in Houston too.

It wasn't. I thought to myself, oh well thats what I get for getting a cheap h-pipe, but then i thought, how much more work would it be to do the job right, not much harder imho.

$60 is a great price for the work/time involved. Bet you like the sound a lot better now, eh?

Funny how CJPP is on here pimping the hell out of their new Magnaflow resonated X pipe but hasn't made a peep on this thread or on the website.

Night and day difference! The before video you posted last week sounded exactly like mine. Perfect example of the "dieseling" sound. After the fix sounds money!

His before video for those interested

That whistle sound when air is rushing through the small hole is interesting. I mean maybe someone likes it. It does sound like a old muscle car with that whoosh sound.


The sound after the holes are removed is more smooth kinda sounds like an x-pipe.
