x pipe or straight pipes !! 4.8is....
 
so i got that x pipe from autoanything.com and now im not sure which one to do ??:dunno:

i thought it was a good idea to get the x pipe so i would have all the snap crackle pop as i do on my 4.6is .

but i remember a couple of peeps doin the x pipe and losing torque and power !! me dont want that at all !!

so whats the real deal how should i acomplish this looking for more sound but not looking to sacrifice prediciment !! :dunno:

I have the x pipe on my 4.4i. You can hear it in HQ stereo sound in my sig (left channel = remus & x-pipe, right channel= engine compartment and AFE):

Straight pipes will give you drone on the inside. I think the X-pipe would be the better option.

i dont have any drone now with my 4.6 wit straits but its very raspy , almost farrty when on gas !!

wanna get rid of the farrrty but wanna increase sound aswell all without losing any beans !! :thumbup: guess i wanna eat the cake aswell !!
