Take off resonator and mufflers run x pipe. You'll be very happy if you like your X to be loud. Go with your muffler shop, they normally know their bussiness.

mrbmwx5 and dkl; thanks for the suggestions about the dinan exhaust. I saw that it on this board for sale as well. the problem with the dinan exhaust is its just not that loud, just like the seller said. I would love to go with the eisenmann race exhaust like the seller did but that things like over 2k :wow:

I didn't go with the straight pipe option because i have a 3.0. straightpipes would mess with the back pressure and i would notice a loss in power. i went with the x pipe in place of the resonator. I was considering doing straight pipes after the x pipe but the guy said that would still mess with the back pressure. now if i had a V8, i might have gone with the straight pipe option.

My bad.. I really meant X pipe, resonator and muffler delete. I have this set up but kept the resonator, was just too loud for my taste. But if you want maximum loudness go with the 3 mods I recommended. :thumbup:

Thanks. Do you have a 3.0 or V8? Also, do you happen to have a soundclip? I would really appreciate one just to get an idea.

I too am looking for an exhaust, but don't have 15 bills to drop on it. Was looking at the Remus, but what are the major issues (if I'm just looking for the sound) of purchasing the mufflers and having them welded on? The whole system (pipes and all) only claims a 5 - 10hp anyways.

Def. go custom route, I did all new pipeing from the headers back 2.5 inch, with magnaflow high flow cats and magnaflow muffler sound fucking sick, I had the guy custom make my tips to the new pipe size, one of the best exhaust jobs i have ever seen,

A sound clip would be reaaaally nice,so let us hear it.;)

Expectations for the sound of a 3.0 and a v8 should not be the same.
