I just got 2 new mufflers and am going to put them on and was wondering if 1.) an h-pipe is worth it? 2.) where to install the h-pipe in the exhaust? I have a single 2.25" exhaust now and am going to be welding on 2.5" dual pipes. ---

put the H pipe witin the first foot of straight tubing off the headers. yes its worth it, helps to smooth the powerband out, also gets rid of the raspy sound, and gives it a nice sound ---

well its usually about the end of the tranny on stangs. which is about with in a foot or so of the straight pipe. this is with LTs or shorties. so best betfor you is same place at the end of the tranny ---
