Resonator: xpipe or hpipe
Hey Mbworld,
I currently have my 2ndary cats and resonator deleted with 2.5 in straight pipes. The car is LOUD, but at times seems that it flows poorly and is too raspy. I was wondering between an xpipe and hpipe for the resonator, which will keep the car loud, but give it a better tone and flow. Thanks!

I have no plans on swapping in headers so after doing some searching/reading I found it recommended to leave the stock resonator which has a crossover pipe(H-pipe) in it & just swap out the sec cats for an X-pipe which is what I did. It's just a bit louder under load & stock like while cruising. I decided on a 2.5" SS X-pipe from Magnaflow, $220 installed.
