Re: Exhaust Help

I got mine directly from VRS. I just looked at their website. The regular x-pipe was 160 and the stainless one was 220. Some people don't like the sound of stainless. It's kinda more of a cold, hard sound. The aluminized is more warm, if that make sense to you.

Hmmm, must be the opposite for mod-motor cars. I wouldn't consider my X-pipe raspy at all, but when I had the H-pipe, it was very raspy.

Re: Exhaust Help

My car wasn't raspy at all, the stainless x-pipes tend to be raspy but the aluminized aren't

Re: Exhaust Help

Chambered X pipes are raspy (Bassani), true X pipes are smoother (Dr. Gas, Magnaflow, VRS). They still don't have that "muscle car" sound of an H pipe, but more of an exotic sound.

Re: Exhaust Help

Raspy? My Dr. Gas X-pipe with Factory Ford Mufflers sounds like an Indy car. Raspy? You need to hear Wicked's rolling Dr. Gas billboard.

Another vote for an X-pipe. I'm partial to a Dr. Gas X, it helped with my torque numbers. But I'd skip the Flowmaster and go for MAC or Borla.
