SnakDoctor thanks so much for that. The car looks great btw. I am guessing you put straight pipes in there? What do you think it would sound like if you took out all of the resonators? or maybe took all the resonators out and added an X ? Appreciate the info!

Hey Zulu,

There is some info floating around here somewhere, but in short what I gather is if you go with deleting both sets of resonators, it is pretty darn loud and might drone in the cabin. With just the delete I have (and yes, straight pipe), it is actually pretty loud outside, and with windows closed, not invasive at all.

I think people say X-pipe is not quite as loud and there is some different opinions on whether it's good or bad for our turbo engines.

Has anyone done a h pipe as a compromise between an x pipe or straight pipes?
