Soouper Turbooo’s… This member here knows their mufflers. I’ve heard these on sooo many different applications.. Sounded good every time. LoL..

It drives me crazy that all the useful variants are mild steel, but I have yet to find a better choice. And at this point, I've kind of given up. Nothing like rebuilding an exhaust multiple times to end up where you knew you should have started.

I'll still git a bit more of a growl however with my setup right?

minor small increased rumble, tips look amazing and drives great!

Sound clip? Pics?

Worth a shot here but anyone have an older remus, supersprint exhaust they'd want to get rid of? I don't really want to do a muffler delete as from the sound clips it sounds horrid on the 3.0i. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, all I've done thus far is xpipe and 4.6 mufflers installed.

Just looking for a more deeper raspier sound without going crazy spending

Did you remove the resonator when you installed the xpipe?

yup, installed the magnaflow xpipe and def sounds great on a cold start, unfortunately with the e53's we can't do the golf tee mod lol but other than that I'm really happy with it, since I have the prefacelift model it's really hard to get a good exhaust sound without spending a lot of money for the 3.0i

assuming there is not much I can do besides upgrade mufflers and straight pipe?

The issue is the limited space available. The stock mufflers are compact in my opinion, and the plumbing along with tip placement just complicates things even more.

That is why it is difficult to replace the mufflers with a high flow type, with a more aggressive sound. I am all for hearing my power plant scream, but do not run straight pipes. The cats alone are not enough to refine the tone.

My suggestion, find the smallest, and I mean the smallest high flow mufflers available. Get them installed and worry about the tips after.
