I put 4.6iS mufflers on my 3.0i a few years ago, and they won't make any difference in noise. I would like to do a resonator delete/X pipe as well someday, but it's low on the priority list. The 4.6iS mufflers do look a LOT better though.

Yeah you definitely need to remove the resonator to change the tone. The x-pipe will help balance out the back pressure, and create better flow.

Headers is the only true performance upgrade everything else is tone. As mentioned, the V8 muffler will provide a better experience without resorting to headers.

I agree with this, I'll keep you posted next week when I get this mod done, really excited lol

I've heard the same thing, budget wise this is a good mod for the time being at least

Found a clip online actually, this is what I expect it to sound like

Yeah, that's the advantage of the N62 mufflers. Just enough more sound to make a noticeable difference. Not enough to be annoying.

From the video I posted above that I located online it seems like it's the perfect balance of sound, at least for me

Yeah, if you want to do a resonator delete, that changes things. I didn’t want to touch the X-pipe.

that's the plan stan, better flow and increased MPG, might as well

received the V8 mufflers today, plan is to polish and clean them and tomorrow I'll have the work done along with xpipe installation

cheers :)
