x-pipe then added Roush Axel Backs Vids

[AmpedUp]

First post here Only had my V6 for about a week and did some exhaust work.

First up just a resonator delete and x pipe idle and some revs.



Just finished with the Roush AB install and K&N drop in idle only so far for vids had to pick up my daughter.


Here a a few passes, It is way to loud I think the stock resonator is going back in.

Nice! Where did you get the x-pipe?

 

[AmpedUp]

I had a local shop fabricate one for me.

Sounds good!!

Sound killer at idle, driving is another thing...:headbonk:

Are you getting some drone??

Lots of drone, I do have some adjustability with mounting the tips fore and aft to play with which could help. I really do think it needs the stock resonator.

Would adding some short resonators like thrush tubes just tame it down some help ? I like the note just maybe a little off the top would help

I'll take it into my muffler guy tomorrow or the next. I bet he will have a solution.

Thanks for the vids. The x-pipe definitely makes the exhaust note more aggressive but at the same time raspy.

I think I prefer the resonator, but I could see people preferring the x-pipe.

The Muffler guys solution was to leave the x-pipe in and remove the Roush AB and install some flowmasters which have internal baffles, I decided to just have the stock resonator put back in today, much better! Still loud but well with in the range of acceptable IMHO. A little bit of drone about 2000-2100 rpm but its not too bad.

If I had to do it over again def. just the Roush AB's. If I was on a budget just the X-pipe. No way on both.

If anyone wants the X-pipe send me a PM and we can work something out, you will have to get some welding done at a muffler shop just FYI.

I will try to get some sound clips up today or the next before I go out of town.

I have the roush ab and I love it just the way it is. Not ridiculously loud. But enough to make it very fun to drive.

 

[kodypiccirilli]

how much did it cost to fabricate the x pipe?

 

[AmpedUp]

150 for fabrication 100 install. At least he swapped back in the stock resonator for free...
