hey nicely doen man.. I have had the same mod as yours for a while now but I did it myself so the welding job isn't that great.. Im thinking of bringing it to a shop to get it rewelded. Where are you located and what shop did you bring it to?

I guess this will be the next mod for my 4.6is.

putting in the x pipe smooths out the exhaust. Without it you may getting some "popping" and "gurgeling" on decel.

Yep you were one of the reasons I was forced to do this (gotta blame somebody). I did it in Charlotte, NC. I know a couple of guys at an independent exhaust shop that do all kinds of custom work. These guys can weld perfect beads with their eyes closed.

Nice.
 

Sounds great. Where did you get the x pipe?

Very nice! :thumbup:

Thanks. I got the magnaflow part from Performance-Curve who has an online store and an ebay store. The quality is very good, however, my installer said he could have made one just as good for $20. :dunno:

Thank you Sir. I heard Ekaz's exhaust (resonator delete) on his 4.8 last night and it sounds terrific. 4.8 OEM exhaust just sound better as we all know. But I was looking for something more subtle at idle and normal throttle so I am glad I went this route.

NCX...I forgot to ask to listen to your X5. I think I am going to do the Xpipe mod next weekend. Is the pipe the 2.25 inch one or 2.5.

Whoooops, sorry I forgot too. I used 2.25" pipe but you could use 2.5" if you wanted to. In my opinion, if you want it loud and gurgly (is that a word) skip the x-pipe and just remove the resonator. If you want it a little refined and not so loud, put in a crossover of some sort. I also think the newer 4.8 mufflers sound deeper than the 4.6's.
