for the cost of getting the Mark pipe worked just get one made. are you going to run a crossover, h or x? and what do you want stainless or aluminized?

all brands are good, it isn't like lers, all it is is a couple of pipes that come down to the lers.  No real difference between brands.  I had the BBK off road one on my stang that got stolen, and loved it.  I will be buying another one soon.

H-pipes are generally a bitch to intall. Mine didn't look like it would fit the first time I installed it till after I struggled with it for a few hours. The second time I got smart and used a ratcheting tie down strap to draw it up where it needed to be. The install went alot quicker once I got the hangers lined up.
