Mach 1 Resonator Delete Different than 18-21GT?

[ChitownStang]

I just got a Mach 1 Monday 3/29. I installed the MBRP resonator delete x pipe. Same application as 15+ GT.

No issues whatsoever.

Also, how much louder is it in the cabin?

That's what I needed to hear. Thanks Jarod
That x-pipe must sound nasty!!

It's a noticable difference, but not overbearing! It's perfect.

This thing is about to be a lot meaner!

Post some audio when you get it on!
My wife has caught me a couple times watching exhaust videos on YouTube. She is questioning why I’m ordering parts for a car that isn’t here yet lol

Haha, yeah I’m about $2k in on mods for this Mach and my wife is not happy either!! Lol
The h-pipe might have to be it for a while.

So How hard is this h-pipe to install?
Maybe back up on ramps. I have a sawzaw.

Not hard at all ............
Take your time, measure 3 times cut once, don't over torque the clamps.

Be advised if you have active exhaust .

Would be best to unplug the valves before cutting things up.

Reason
When cut free, the tailpipe & muffle assembly now free to move.

Can and is known to happen, jams the AE plug into the body. Knocking it loose, possible breaking the pin.

This happens most times reinserting the tailpipe & muffle to H pipe.

The pass side valve being the most likely side the plug gets jammed into the body.

Thanks for this advice Greg! I was planning on using my floor jack and a 2x4 to hold the pipes up behind my cuts so the mufflers don't drop and twist.
As I go through the install in my head, one thing that's a little unclear to me is when I hold up the h-pipe to the existing resonator to mark the cuts, how do I know exactly where the front of the resonator pipes start if they are in the clamps still? If I have to be exact this could be an issue no?

what's the part number for mach 1 exhaust?

Here you go the distance is set with the rear cuts to the tail pipe. Just remove the resonator & replace it with the H pipe.

first step

and

loosen clamps remove resonator

This step AE valve plugs can get damaged.

Install the H pipe in the front clamps first, sung.

Then exhaust pipe to H pipe.
Use same care connecting & clamping .

If you do get an h pipe buy some double wall butt clamps. None of them come with good quality clamps and will sag.

Thanks Greg! This is great info.
These measurements aren't there on the Steeda H-pipe instructions. Hopefully they are all the same. where did these instructions come from?

Got it, Thanks Ryan
