Exhaust X-pipe
 

I have decided what kind of tips to go with. But now I dont know if I should install an X-pipe. Does is give it better performance, or better exhaust note?

It made a difference in my 01 4.4 exhaust note for sure...as for performance unliley

On a V8 it makes for great sound, don't know about a 3.0.

I just installed it on my 3.0 and it improves the exhaust note just slightly. Unnoticeable from inside but outside it sounds better. But I want something louder so now I am looking at a exhaust upgrade.

Did you remove the resonators and/or a CAI?

When you install the Xpipe it replaces your resonator. And yes I have AFe CAI.

That's strange because another member posted a video of his 3.0 after the X-pipe/tips and CAI. It sounds A LOT more aggressive.

You sure he doesn't have different exhaust all together?? or mufflers? the difference is only noticeable from outside...even in my case with a 4.4 while im driving is slightly louder but nothing really special..

LOL! That is me and mine.....Top Secret set up...........you will have to ask mrbmwx5 for my recipe as he holds it in secracy!! LOL!!
