One of IND's supercharged customers has it installed i know, so they may want to chime in on their personal opinion. Sam is the only person on the boards here i know that has one from our first initial production run

We just recently moved the jigging to the USA here locally so we can make them quicker, and with even higher quality. We know in the past our time to marketplace has been a little slow from proto to sellable product, so we are taking all steps to make that a thing of the past. So far nearly all our items we are making in th USA now and going smoother and smoother

We will start testing the high flow cat, and catless versions here in April as well.

What do you want to know about it?
I've had other Xpipes and I wasn't happy. Sound, feel and quality wise this is the best I've had

Considering I have a pretty aggressive Race exhaust that was loud with stock pipes it does the job of keeping things mellow while still offering some aggressive race sounds when I want.

I'll try and shoot a little Handycam video in a few minutes. Not good quality, but somethings better than nothing

great thanks guys, i dont really know anything about the xpipe on this car, as far as resonated and unresonted and what differences it makes and so on... but basically i got my answer from green hell on fit and finish and sound, i want to use this with either the eisnman race or meistershaft eventually so im hoping it will sound good, i didnt see the product listed on your site when i originally checked, am i better off going through you or eas

Are you saying that it actually mellows out the sound of loud exhaust systems?

If GTM can chime in, I'd like to hear more about it as I'm interested too.

The Resonators definately help the car not get to raspy and maintains a cleaner sound overall.

MrHarris · 03-31-2010, 04:04 AM

I'd recommend at least one pair of resonators on any x-pipe.

MMMorish · 03-31-2010, 04:48 AM

What about droning? Would the xpipe amplify any drone that is already present?

Anytime you go with a X-pipe with less cats or resonators it's only going to get louder ... Unless you have one set resonators 36 inches long

holt · 03-31-2010, 10:00 AM

probably a silly question, and I'm sure I'll get flamed for it.

what is the actual purpose of an x-pipe? I know it connects both sides of the exhaust, but what benefits become of it? Just for louder exhaust?

smmmurf · 03-31-2010, 10:43 AM

Does this require cutting of the stock x-pipe in any way? If so, are you coming out with something that doesn't require cutting and when?

jeff@autocouture · 03-31-2010, 11:14 AM

i believe it is completely bolt ony
