The bigger the better....more air movement with less resistance. Does it drone at steady speeds and how much louder is it?

sounds amazing its a bit loud inside the car, but not that loud ... but from outside the sound is deep and nice...
so i should keep them straight pipes? ya...
does it effect the pressure in the exhaust or no??
and shall i replace the stock x pipes with any different x pipes??
thanks for your reply bro... really appreciate it
ill try to put some videos for you to hear the sound

The X pipe should take some of the "drone" out.

I would love to hear it. Post this in the tuning section, someone with more experience with this mod should be more helpful in regards to the back pressure.
From old school racing, less is more, but with so many computers in these things...
When I read the kill stories and the tuning section, every car in there has an exhaust mod, it cant be so bad.

I'm considering starting out with just an X pipe but I dont want that humming noise in the cabin....
