Understanding exhaust tone is a personal preference, I'd like to massage little more growl from the SL, not looking for a cat-delete, straight pipe obnoxious drone. Interested in hearing what others here have done and how they have liked it, e.g. resonator delete and keeping rest of the system stock. Additionally, any users of any of the SuperSprint components?

Thinking to delete resonators (or cats without 02 sensors), which are sitting after cats...
If you cut the secondary cats your factory tune will suffer but it will be louder. Not to mention The fuel stink smell
A 5L SL could make the most power and sound louder but still somewhat refined by leaving the secondary cats and adding better flowing cross over section to remove a crippling restriction the factory hurt the performance and sound levels and also add a set of low back pressure mufflers

What the problem is with the exhaust system is one side of the exhaust at the merge is one pipe is crushed in half. Fixing it with a good quality cross over will improve the sound and improve performance
Thank You, Hary for proper answer.
I see now.
So, basically i need nicer x pipe, then connection tubes till rear mufflers.
Because I would like to look stock, not quad pipes stickin' out,
I've found these in mine neibourhood....
Cheers
Hi There .
Your car has plenty of grunt from the exhaust, its just silenced via the 2 rear back box. If you want some fun and have the most amazing noise when you are feeling good, I would recommend just using electric cut outs, they are cheap work, on a push of a remote, pretty simple to install and then you can close them with the remote and all is silenced once more !

I get the direction with the cutouts. Sounds different. They could also be tied into the muffler for an A-B style sound with a direct thru flow internal pipe
TBH; for all the time and money I would’ve fixed the terrible choking exhaust issue of the X pipe directly upstream. It is losing HP/Tq the motor desperately needs and can also aide in a decent quality sound enhancement for whatever you choose behind it
To me, the SuperSprint X-pipe does not look much different than the stock setup. Has anyone actually installed the SuperSprint and how were the results?
