Question on Ford h-pipe for performance exhaust for 2015 GT

[onlyturbo]

Hi,
Does anyone know if a Steeda h-pipe will be a bolt on replacement for the Ford racing performance exhaust x-pipe? The Steeda h pipe looks long, but I can't tell how long is the x-pipe of the FRPE.
Thanks?

Same here, I’d like to know. Maybe tj@steeda can chime in?

Great question - let me find out

Our techs said no - based on their observations (since they haven’t installed one) it looks like modifications would have to be done.

Aw man
Well thanks for looking into this TJ

Yes thank you! Unfortunately I did not realize that, I ordered the Steeda h-pipe, and when my installer compared the two h-pipes, the Steeda was way longer. I was thinking about maybe cutting it, but the cut would need to be behind the "Steeda" logo brace, and even after that the Steeda pipes are further apart from each other.

Now I am stuck with the wrong pipe, my fault! I just thought it would be an easy replacement. I love the Steeda pipe, great quality, too bad it doesn't fit!

My question now is what H pipe will plug and play with the FRPP

My question now is what H pipe will plug and play with the FRPP

The Borla resonator is an H internally.

thanks @Brazos609 but with the touring exhaust having the resonator would take out some of the fun

the Steeda pipes are further apart?

sorry I don't quite understand. the pipes have a wider separation between the two compared to the Borla?

Yes.
The Steeda H pipes needs to be cut behind the "Steeda" brace, they are much longer than needed. Also after they are cut, the H pipes are still further apart from each other (paralel), than the Borla mating midpipes.

Another member told me he had no problem mating to the Borla after he had the H pipes cut though.

Oh wow ok thanks
You would think with the cars today not having to much play that things would line up that much more easier.

Just looking around,
now I’m thinking maybe the H pipe for 2018 and up might be a better fit

You may be correct!, Just make sure the distances between the two pipes is the same between the Gen 2 and Gen 3...
