You've dumped the resonated x pipe? How does it sound now?

Not yet...double X is coming. When you have a coworker with the below on their car, and hear it a few times a week, the want is strong.
Will sound like this:

That sounds amazing, clearly not for the faint of heart though 
. Is this aimed at volume/tone solely or are there performance gains to be had?

Small performance gains (nearly in measurement error), but tone more than anything, as well as missing that extra bark a non-resonated mid-pipe provides. The resonated X has enough volume to keep me fairly happy, but was too subdued at less than ~50% throttle, particularly when all warmed up.That sounds amazing, clearly not for the faint of heart though
I had my buddy drive it with the windows up and also cracked open a little like a normal person and was surprised how tame it is. As soon as you go past 1/2 throttle it's a roaring/screaming beast, though. I figure it'll give me some great tone without having to go deep into the pedal, so I will probably drive more civil and get better fuel economy :lol::lol::lol:
The big enabler is that Livernois just sent me a tune that makes cold starts pretty much the same as warm starts, which was my big worry (pissing off neighbors).

I wonder if we had one of each of our mufflers would it create the best of both worlds!

OMG :eyebulge::eyebulge:
Xtreme is where it's at. What a sound. I've heard it several times before, both outside and inside the car, but when it's your own car, it's somehow different and more awesome. Wow. What an amazing sound.

You have changed your exhaust setup more times than a woman changes her mind on what to wear for a formal dinner.

Gotta get it just right!You have changed your exhaust setup more times than a woman changes her mind on what to wear for a formal dinner.
Yeah...not sure why I've not met Gibbo yet.......perhaps the other Brit members have warned him
