  Sounds Soo Good

  I just received this h pipe along with my slp lm1 today. And installed in an hourish. Just let me say it sounds so good, Cant say what it sounds just by itself, but with the 2 combined it was that exhaust note that i was looking for. When you down shift it sounds like thunder, not all that rasp you get with a bbk or/x and flowmasters. I switched from bbk or/x to this cause i was sick of the " tin can" sound the two made together. Hope this helps. Oh and fitment was perfect, no exhaust leaks and it doesn't hang low like the bbk x-pipes do.

  So.....taking off the stock h pipe was kind of hard....and then installing this one ..... Was cake!!! Because its a 2 piece item...it was just a breeze....I am in love with the sound this pipe gives.....very aggressive....the way a true mustang should sound!! Sounds great with borlas xr1 mufflers!! Exotic! Uncommon!! Rare!!!

  High Quality, Sounds Great

  Exhaust is well made and sounds great. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars across the board is the passenger side header gasket provided with the kit basically desintigrated after a day at the track. I recommend this exhaust, but if you plan on running some track events, get a replacement gasket from Ford.

  Amazed how good it sounds!

  The install was pretty easy being a 2 piece design. It took a little adjusting to get the angle perfect, again, being 2 piece made it easier. I'm running the JBA Shorty headers, this JBA H pipe and Flowmaster American Thunder system. At start up and idle, it has the perfect balance of loudness and tone. Its a deep tone at idle. Going through the gears, it gets alot louder, and has a mean old school growl to it. If you do not want a raspy, rediculously loud exhaust, like I did, this is the one to get!

  JBA Stainless Off-road H pips

  I have one of these on my 2001 Mustang Bullitt. Very nice piece. I like that it's stainless too. I have this H pipe along with a Magnaflow catback and love it. Great quality.

  2004 Mustang GT

  Fitment was great but after a few days of driving it sounds like I have an exhaust leak where the pipe meets the manifold. Could possibly just need tightened up. Paired nice with my SLP catback, was just the loud I was looking for.

  Jab off road h-pipe

  Install was a little tricky because the bolts that were supplied were not long enough(bolts for the clamps). Once we got past that it was pretty straightforward, it should be noted that my buddy is a Ford mechanic so he is quite skilled. I would say it took an honest hour and a half to two hours (also changed oil). The pipe that we took off was a BBK-X pipe with high flow cats which was rubbing on speed bumps and driveway aprons all of the time. The car definitely has a more aggressive sound, it is much louder, feels like it makes more power and does not rub on the ground at all. I would say it is about 30 louder than the X pipe with cats and the tone is just a better sound to me. I picked my buddy up on the way home from the install and took him for a ride and he was blown away at how good it sounds and stated that "this is the way a Mustang should sound". Sorry no pics.

  X Pipe resonating/rattling woes? Look no further.

  If you’re disappointed with how the BBK off road X pipe sounds on your car with the resonating/rattling sound inside and rasp/popping outside, you are looking at the right product to fix that. I ran the BBK offroad X pipe with Flowmasters for a summer, being in my mid-30s I was embarrassed to have passengers and drive around town because it sounded like a cheap, racer-boy car inside and out with all the resonating and popping. After reading that X pipes are inherently more raspy than H pipes (I read that before buying the x pipe but didn’t take it seriously), watching countless web video clips, and overcoming the thought of tackling more nasty back-on-the-floor exhaust work with bad result, I put this offroad H system on. It’s been weeks since I put this on and I’m still high as a kite that my car finally sounds like it should – deep, controlled, tasteful, and muscular. Best yet, no more tinny rattling sounds inside the car. Also, being a 2-piece system (unlike the BBK X pipe 4 piece) it’s much easier to install and align, and less places to leak. There were only 2 minor cons I ran in to. First, the included gasket is just a flat piece as seen in photos, where the OEM style has the raised lead crush ring. Maybe the included gasket would have been fine, but I wasn’t taking the chance, I sprung the 7 bucks for an OEM style from the auto parts store down the street. Second, the bolts included to mate to the catbacks were not long enough, I had to go get ¼” longer bolts to make it work (2 bucks for automotive grade bolts at a local hardware store). In the end there is no replacement for having a car sound the way you want; if you like deep, muscular sound versus the raspy, popping sound of an X pipe, this is the mid-pipe you want.

  JBA H-pipe and Flowmaster American Thunder

  This was very easy to install (after I got the stock midpipe off which took some time) and was a absolute perfect fit! bolted right up! and with the flowmaster American Thunder Series it sounds PERFECT! couldn't have asked for anything better!

  That deep tone

  I had this H-pipe installed with a set or Borla stingers and it sounds amazing. When I turned it on for the first time coming out of the shop i couldn't help but smile. I've always favored the old muscle car tone compared to the rasp you get from an x-pipe and this H-pipe was everything i wanted and more. It is rather loud when you stand on it though and anything over 75mph on the highway gets old.

  Drooooooool....

  I did A LOT of researcher before finally deciding on this pipe, and I can say it absolutely exceeded my expectations. The pipe is loud as others have said, but unlike an X pipe the sound is very clean with no rasp. If you want a nice deep sound from your Mustang, this pipe is the way to go. My only small complaint is the included gasket was very cheap and after the initial install I had a pretty noticeable leak between the pipe and the passenger side manifold. Luckily my original gasket was still in good shape, so I just doubled it up with the new one and leak is gone. As always, a fantastic product and fantastic service from American Muscle. BUY THIS PIPE! You will not be dissapointed.

  Deep V8 rumble

  Great product! Easy installation! Direct fit no modifications needed. Local muffler shop installed in less than 50 minutes. Great sound. Deep rumble and great sound when crushing between 1500-3000! Been trying to find this sound for years and this product helped bring it to life. Used with bassani cutbacks on an 03 Mach 1.

  Very good quality all around!

  They had a sale on it, and I'm quite happy with how good it is. It's all stainless and the quality is really nice. It bolted right up with very little trouble; maybe 1.5 hours or so. The two piece construction makes it pretty straightforward. Make sure you get the passenger side header connection good and tight. I thought it was but had a fairly decent exhaust leak at the flange, so I had to crawl back under and torque them down some more. Don't be afraid to muscle up and make sure you tighten them evenly or it will try to cock sideways. I have it paired with regular Magnaflow mufflers (not the Magnapacks), and it sounds REALLY nice. Not too loud at idle, but thumps really good when you're on it. It might be a smidge loud for me (I'm 36 not 16), so I got some Pypes M80's to weld in the H-pipe. The only knock is that the 4 rear bolts where it connects to the mufflers are SHORT. They need to be like 1-2" longer. I had to use some longer bolts which I fortunately had around. I was able to use one of the supplied ones on each muffler connection, but it barely grabbed. If they supplied longer bolts it would've been a perfect 5 stars. Don't hesitate to buy though. It's GREAT!

  Great quality and fitment

  Make sure you have 1/2" drives and U joints, otherwise getting off the stock H pipe just isn't going to happen. When you install this, put antisieze on the factory threads for the studs, and buy new nuts - it doesn't hurt to buy a heavier duty exhaust clamp than what JBA included (my only complaint). Go slow and even when you tighten the exhaust nuts, and know that you have to crush the steel of the H pipe over the collector dome on the driver's side to get a leak free fitment. Well worth the effort, and a great quality piece that fits awesome and doesn't hang low at all.

  Head turner sound

  Fit and finish was amazing, sounds great, its got a nice deep rumble to it. Just watch out for the passenger side header flange nut, what a pain to get off, other than that easy install.

  Great quality, fit and finish

  I tried another cheaper O/R H pipe from a competitor of AM. I had used this competitor for years before I bought a Mustang and found AM. It was a piece of junk. Did not fit, poor quality but was cheap. I finally got them to take it back and I immediately called AM. Spoke to Bill and explained I wanted the pipe to fit!! He recommended the JBA. What a great piece! Outstanding quality on the material (stainless), welds, fit and finish! Although it was priced a fair amount higher, it was worth it. Thank you AM!!!
