That sounds really good. I don’t hear any drone. Can you confirm that there wasn’t any drone?Finally put an x pipe on the Borla atak catback. It suits the V6 quite well IMO.

Thanks! It does drone when cruising at around 40ish mph. Doesn't bother me though, you get used to it.That sounds really good. I don’t hear any drone. Can you confirm that there wasn’t any drone?
Thanks! I might try the S Type or Touring mufflers. I don’t tolerate any drone very well anymore.Thanks! It does drone when cruising at around 40ish mph. Doesn't bother me though, you get used to it.
Some clips put together of my exhaust. LP off-road legs, Jones resonators, 2 x-pipes (does this even do anything lol), muffler delete, quad tips. I love this setup and will probably never change it again.
Wow that’s wicked! But glad it’s on your car not mine
It's part of the tune haha. Surprisingly it doesn't really pop at all without it. My friend's S197 3.7 naturally pops with just a muffler delete so it's something with the S550s.I'm always tempted to try muffler deletes or something a bit louder than my current setup, but I also don't want to really spend any money on it either lol. Sounds nice but a bit much for me I think, is the popping from the exhaust alone or part of your tune?
No, it won't at all. If it did you wouldn't notice especially if you tune the car.I've heard rumors (but haven't found any videos so far, other than a turbocharged Cyclone) that 3in might kill power at the expense of sound. Is there some truth to this or would the increase in piping size not have any effect on power with these cars?
I'd like a deeper tone since I've heard these engines can be quite raspy.
My plan;
Shorties with a resonated x-pipe and S550.2 quads.
PS; I don't know what all brands make resonated x-pipes or if it's necessary. I just don't want drone

I run a full three inch from cats back with shorty headers (soon to be twin turbo manifolds). There will be no issues. I literally just made a change to my exhaust today. I dropped out the tru-x style muffler and replaced with an eBay X Pipe and two flowmaster FX bullet style mufflers welded to the xpipe. Sounds almost the same except a little louder and throaty. Still full 3 inch as it was before..A tune is on the charts after I procure intake revisions
Does it matter that the entire exhaust wouldn't technically be 3in? I think the shorties for these cars only has a 2.5in collector, iirc

Best I can do. Cell phone recording so use headphones. This is my old setup (x-pipe Muffler). My new setup as described above sounds almost exactly like this one only better now. It's a cleaner throatier tone then above (less muffled) and it is a bit louder, but still almost zero drone.Might you have a vid of this?! I'd like to hear how yours turned out.
