For anyone thinking about doing the Steeda H-pipe on a 18-19 GT...

Yes, if you have A/E, it is the first mod one should do. Quiet is still quiet...Normal and Sport sound good, and track is just about perfect IMO. I am so glad I did this rather than dropping ~$1.5k on a new system.

It's so good, and for ~$200. I was frequently switching into Track mode, which was an extra PITA, now Sport+ is __perfect__ when you want to be a little rowdy, regular mode still sounds good but dials it back enough to be discreet, and Quiet is, well, very quiet.

If anyone wants another listen, check out my videos below. They are in track mode with the H-pipe. Note: if you go to my profile on YT, the drag race videos are stock (resonated) with the windows up so they aren't accurate to what it will sound like. The autocross videos are H-piped with the windows down, in track mode.

Still getting some air through the Steeda clamps. Don’t want to weld so I’m looking at these: https://www.jegs.com/i/Hooker+Heade...OFooBFuKdNiMxz0PVSlhNH2yc5gDTfMQaAp-sEALw_wcB



Anyone have success with them or can recommend a beefier alternative?

I bought a set similar off amazon. Worked perfect. Wasn’t air on mine, mufflers would start to droop/twist and be angled in opening. Well worth it!!!!

I am having this exact problem! My driver's muffler will droop on the outside tip and i've adjusted it 5 times and it will still fall. Im going to order these and see if they help. If not, im having them welded.

Can you share the link of the similar clamps you bought on amazon?

This will solve that issue completely. It was driving me nuts.

How are these different than the ones supplied by Steeda?

Steeda on the left vs Amazon one on the right. You be the judge....

oh yea. No leaks and exhaust never moved once after I put these on.

Oh wow, thanks, yeah, I'm getting a little water weeping from mine. My installer cut mine a bit short, maybe like 1/2", so a longer clamp would definitely help.

This may be a stupid question, but doesn't the X/H pipe remove your resonators/emissions controls? In northern Ohio we have to do bi-yearly emissions tests after a certain age of vehicle so I am wondering if that would be a problem.

absolutly not. That’s all done with the cats. Resonator is just a muffler.
