make an xpipe?

texas_mustang · September 23rd, 2007, 09:49 PM

a friend of mines dad whos a mechanic, told me its a waste of money to buy an xpipe. that he made on for his 68 with parts from autozone for 50 bucks...

?

HMUSN · September 23rd, 2007, 09:51 PM

yup.

you can make them custom.

texas_mustang · September 23rd, 2007, 09:55 PM

for about 50? and will i need to retune my caR?

i dont have a tuner...

HMUSN · September 23rd, 2007, 09:56 PM

I don't know how much... that depends on your exhaust shop...

as long as your cats are left alone you won't need a tuner.

texas_mustang · September 23rd, 2007, 10:00 PM

and will it sound different? also, will it allow me to go duals?

i drive a v6... and it sucks...

06RedfireGT · September 23rd, 2007, 10:08 PM

With an x pipe you will have to go duals, and yes it will sound MUCH different, and you don't need a tuner, all you need are MIL eliminators, they are like $60. The reason is it will throw a CEL w/o cats and a tuner is just to turn off the rear 02 sensors off.

texas_mustang · September 23rd, 2007, 10:10 PM

im thinking about doing an xpipe after the cats... but i dont really know...

im gonna talk to him tommrow

will it make a difference aftercat interms of sound?

06RedfireGT · September 23rd, 2007, 10:19 PM

yes, you are going from a y pipe to and z pipe. There will be a big difference in sound.

hears a vid with the pypes violator true duals and an x pipe.

I'm not sure if that was a serious question, but why would you put in the x pipe and then plumb it back to a single exhaust? I don't think you'd see any gain at all.

It seems like it would be easier, once you've got the x pipe in place, to just continue each outlet all the way back to a set of slp's or muffler's.

Modern_Muscle · September 23rd, 2007, 10:32 PM

I want an O pipe...hehe

get an H pipe with a v6 to give it less rasp and more deepness...
a deeper a v6 is, the better.

texas_mustang · September 23rd, 2007, 10:38 PM

hahaha, believe me

i want as deep as i can get

what more do i needd....

Modern_Muscle · September 23rd, 2007, 11:21 PM

I have an x pipe, and wish it sounded like an H.
The catted H will be deeper, get some flowmaster super 44s, put them on the end of the xpipe, and run tips to the rear, that should sound great...
anyone think so too?

butI agree with modern.

Go with an h pipe, I think the x with the super 44s would be too ricey.

texas_mustang · September 24th, 2007, 10:07 AM

ok.... so how much harder would it be to make an hpipe...

what about a GT take off hpipe?

texas_mustang · September 24th, 2007, 02:37 PM

and if i do go nocats, will it be so loud that its obvious that i dont have cats? casue idont wanna get pulled over for noise violation, then get slammed for no cats.

06RedfireGT · September 24th, 2007, 07:01 PM

I would run a catted h pipe. With no cats it sonds too ricey. It wouldn't be any harder to make an h. But if you do go with no cats, I don't think it will be too loud.

texas_mustang · September 24th, 2007, 07:44 PM

k, i think im gonna wait till my friend puts an xpipe on his gt, and then just get his old h

Modern_Muscle · September 25th, 2007, 12:57 AM

good idea, its already a great flowing H...put the super 44s on the end, and run pipes ovefr the axle, and make it true duals.
I meant to say put em on the end of the H, not X in the above post.
The 44s are the best sounding flows out yet, and with an H, and a mid-muffler system on a v6, it should eliminate most of your rice sound.
Also, a cat doesnt necessarily kill a system, some sound BETTER with cats, as do V6's.
I think v6's with straight pipes are annoying, or even without cats.
a good catted H pipe with flows would be the bomb!

Modern_Muscle · September 25th, 2007, 12:59 AM

O Pipe FTMFW!!!! LMFAO

texas_mustang · September 25th, 2007, 02:44 PM

how much do super 44s cost?
