As far as being able to cut anything out of the exhaust system and replace it with just pipe, what would you recommend chopping out if I want to keep my present factory mufflers for now, but take away some of the resistence?

That http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-aq_6rJ41g sounds really nice.

Tips look cool.

As far as exterior sound clip why not get someone to stand on the edge of a nice long straight road then film you going towards and away from them - redline in 2nd, 3rd & 4th of course. Maybe go back round and let us hear it changing down in manual mode.
Throw a rag over the plates for the 5 minutes that will take. RR said he will pay for any tickets you get :thumbup:

Thanks guys! and Rich I'll be sure to forward my tickets to you haha :rofl:

And about covering the plate/angle out the plate, i was thinking that too, just need to find the time to do it. I had my friends take a few videos but we weren't really thinking about the plate issue. I'll get one up soon, because from outside its even better. Everytime i get in my car I still can't believe the sound, its 100000x better than i ever thought. But one thing that I really enjoy (but i guess some people would not like) is that you can really hear it/feel it inside the car in the 2000-2500 RPM range. But i definitely recommend this mod to anyone who wants to hear their X roar!

If i remember correctly I've seen your black X in your thread and its 4.8? If so, your in luck. Just replacing the resonator with an X pipe would make a BIG difference. I heard Jose's 4.8 (Twinspoppa) with an X pipe and it sounded awesome. If you remove the stock mufflers too your X will REALLY roar. But go with the X pipe first, and if thats not enough move on from there. I started with the X pipe, but since I have a 6 cylinder (which has BIG ASS STOCK MUFFLERS) not much was noticed. But I resolved that issue. :D

And after a little magic from windows movie maker, i was able to un-professionally blur out the plates (and half the video) heh. I'll try and get a better video up. This will serve its purpose for now..

Jeez... I just had a bit of fun being retarded with the "audio preview" on youtube's comment box!

GOFAST GUY 02-08-2009 11:59 AM

Great video. That sounds absolutely awesome. There's no back rap at all, which is perfect. Now you've got me think'n. That's never good. :thumbup:
