And it won't break again.

Clearly all of use with the 4.8 have this damn dent and noise. And realOEM does not list the part number as updated or anything, so this means, the resonator will keep failing.

I was just sitting here and thinking if the x-pipe would be the optimal solution. Just not sure I want to lose the low end. Not sure how much I would lose also. Still debating.

Ricky Bobby will become famous soon enough
Yeah I couldn't tell you since I haven't fitted one on mine, yet. Was debating in case I wanted a deeper tone from the 4.8iS exhaust I just got fitted.

If i'm not mistaken, PropellerHead has an X-pipe fitted to his LeMans 4.8, and I don't think he would put a mod on that netted him lost hp.

Yes, I need to ask him. He also has kids I think. Gotta see how loud it got for him.
