Here's a video I just took this morning. Unfortunately, same conditions - cold and not under load. Yes, it will sound raspy. I will try and take a video when its warmed up so that people can really hear the difference.

BTW .. do NOT have your speaker up too loud after you hear the startup (love the growl!). The wife guns its good unexpectedly and its like a banshee. :)


When it comes to a loss of power from the x-pipe, I could not say either way. I haven't noticed a loss of power but I do not tow or even drive it daily. I have no regrets doing the x-pipe.

I strongly prefer the sound of a straight pipe to an x-pipe. Straight sounds more deep and throaty, x sounds more smooth and high pitched. Could almost be mistaken for a straight 6 in my opinion.

Twins are you still running the crossover or did you switch to the pipe? I know we had a thread about those before. Still haven't put mine on because supposedly the crossover doesn't help sound as well.
Oh here it is.
