Installed X-Pipe And Resonators PICS!!

[steed77]

Hi all,

I got back from the exhaust shop today. I used a local shop here in Northern VA. PM me if you want more info. I was going to go with just an X-Pipe, but I thought it might be raspy cold and possibility drone on the highway. It may or may not, but I only wanted to do this round once.

SO, I went with an eBay Stainless X-Pipe and 2 14" Magnaflow bullet resonators. The pipe size I went with was 2 1/2 inch. The OEM stuff is a tad smaller than 2 1/2, so this all fits easy with little modification. The entire package was less than 150.00 bucks.

Anyway on to the pics.

Here is the OEM configuration. (I'm sure you have seen this)




Here is the OEM stuff coming off.

A little cut and tacking


A little trimming and some welding ready for install


All done and installed




OK so how does it sound? GREAT! It's sound is DEEP. There is NO drone inside. There is NO cold rasp sound. It is not much louder than the OEM right now, until you get in it. Then it's defiantly got a bit more volume. The idle is very quiet, just deeper sound than OEM. I am sure after a few thousand miles it will get a tad louder and even deeper. Just like all Magnaflow stuff.

Performance: Not sure, I did not Dyno this set-up. It feels like there is some more midrange torque and defiantly more up on the top end.

Cheers all.
