Sounds good, way to fly through the stop sign in a residential. Doesn't matter how many look outs you had. 350>300.

FrankW

lol. my apologies for flooring through residential. couldn't find a more empty street at the time.

hey frank you didn't remove your mufflers did you....i think the guy that did his removed his muffles as well he went straight pipes.........yours sound good as h...e double hockey sticks

FrankW

nope didn't touch the muffler. just took off the resonator and replaced it with the x-pipe.

idle like stock, cruising like stock, only heavier throttle will reveal the new deeper sound.

Hi Frank

it sounds awesome. But did it effect the performance of the car?
Negatively?
Positively? how about the warranty issue?

yxc145

Oh, also how much does it cost? is it hard to replace/install?

vcruiser

whered u get the x-pipe?

yxc145

i am pretty sure it's Exhaust Depot

What more could a guy want from his exhaust? Sounds great!

Pleased the X-pipe worked so well for you.

Did your co-pilot notice or object?

Oh yeah, you were wise to choose the 350.

Spec_Davis

where can i find it?

got_thang?

Sounds sweet

NIce one frank !!! loving the 350

FrankW

warranty issue there should be none.

power wise, the car's new. I did notice at mid-high rpm it pulls a little better. no negative effect felt.

it was $150 total. The muffler shop had an right size x-pipe available. I took a look and it looked very well made and quality, so I went with it. couldn't be happier especially without the rasp I was expecting it would have.

yxc145

$150 isn't bad. Is that for the part only or including installation? was it hard to install?
Also, did you take it for dyno testing? if not, do you plan on doing that? do you have pictures of the x pipe? you got it from Exhaust Depot, right?

Also, on normal driving, does it also make loud sound like that? I wouldn't want it to sound like that constantly. my dates may not like that.

FrankW

thought I said $150 total in the last reply. no dyno planned for this car. i rather dyno my C32 again after the heat exchanger and fixing the exhaust leak on that. and no I got it from the muffler shop directly I did not get it from exhaust depot.

sound was described in post #5 in this thread.

Sounds sweet, idleing can't tell a difference.

yxc145

sorry, should have read my carefully. What is the "right" size x pipe to put on our car? do you have pictures of it? was it made by the exhaust shop?

so, during normal driving, it's not as loud as take off... just wanna make sure. do you have the sound clip taken inside the car?

FrankW

no interior sound clip. forgot to take one. i'll do that soon enough.

x-pipe's pre-made. didn't pay attention what size was the pipe. i think it was 60-65mm.

yxc145

by any chance know who makes it? does the shop have another one?

FrankW

yea, the shop has another one or two. I got mine with the polished look.

yxc145

cool. how much for just the part?
does it require cutting and rewelding? or you can use clamps?

FrankW

it requires cutting and welding. the x-pipe is a little shorter, so you need to add a small section. any competent muffler shop can do it.

yxc145

thanks for the info.
Is it something i can easily find in a exhaust shop? or do you think i will probably have to order from your shop?
do you have the shop contact info?

FrankW

you can probably find it at your local muffler shop. if not just have them fab one up.
