Exhaust options

@FAB Cruiser

Congrats on getting your exhaust sorted.

I've a general question to anyone who's replaced / removed their centre resonator. Do you get drone, at any load or engine speed?

I'd like a bit more sound at cruise, but not sure how to get it. Besides that I'm pleased with the standard system on my MY19 GT.

I ask as my daily is an audi B8 A4 V6. Some folk removed the centre res & found their car to be undriveable. I've modified my exhaust but I've kept the resonators.
Its improved the sound, but there's still a mild drone issue at certain revs although I kept my resonators.
I realize these are two different cars, so perhaps don't stand comparison. So I'm wondering just what are the real world results from removing the centre resonator from the GT.
Is there any drone at all or do these X & H pipes provide enhanced sound with no drone?

I fitted a Magnaflow street catback (3") which has an x-pipe. I got drone at cruising revs, made worse by being an auto and the drone being in the box's favourite rev range. If I didn't do longer journeys I'd have kept it because it sounded superb, but couldn't live with it long term. Swapped to a Borla Touring cat back (which has a resonator box); no drone. In the end you probably have to listen for yourself.

Has anyone heard the resonated Scorpion or milltek exhausts? The scorpion can be had for 926 new

I don’t remember Borla ever doing any system for the S550 with an H pipe, otherwise l’d have bought one!

Borla Touring for 2015 Mustang resonator is an H-pipe tubing on inside...

To let people know we have our new Steeda catback 3" system available now. Best priced system out there on our intro price and even after intro it will still be a super price for a full catback....

Looks fantastic, do you do aresonated version? If not how loud is this compared to say a Borla S type? Im looking for old school deep burble rather than raspy. I suppose to be more clear, I love the way the car sounds when cold on a stock exhuast. If I could get that kind of volume/sound when the car is warm I would be very happy! The £1099 price is an intro price? How long is this held for?

Will there be an H-Pipe version? And what type of mufflers are they? Straight through? Chambered?

The note on your page about autos potentially having more drone is well made. My Magnaflow 3" suffered from this.

Yes the auto thing is applicable to nearly all exhaust systems, its not a "steeda specific" thing...

Hi Jord, I dont think there is any plan for an H pipe version as we regard the X pipe as the optimal performance answer and that is Steeda focus generally...

I dont know specifics about muffler internal design..... I can ask though....

Maddog, intro price is good til at least end of year. I cant really compare personally to the Borla S type as I have no experience. However the steeda exhaust is also an X pipe system like the Borla which do tend to sound a little more raspy. If you want a not crazy loud amazing old school V8 sound I would super highly recommend the Kooks catback with H pipe we can provide. Also we have one in stock as well.... They really do sound "perfect" in my opinion.... (but everyone has a different opinion!)

Wow they do sound good but beyond my budget at nearly 2k! I'm swinging back to Roush axle backs these seem to give a great old school sound but I've never heard them in real life[[/QUOTE]

You anywhere near Essex? If you are I can demo my Roush axle back with GT101 h-pipe and possibly get my brother in-law along with just Roush axle back.

No pal, I'm way up north in Chester! Thanks though! I'm so torn as I'm not sure I want to cut the standard system. I'm after a deep burble on tick over really, you know the old school sound. Realise these ain't ohv engines though! I think its either roush axle backs or stump up the cash for a full borla touring system! Yours sounds mega! Bet its loud on a cold start? I really dont want to piss the neighbours off with my 730am start up!!

Lol, a fair old ways from Essex.
Once I’d heard the Roush axle backs, I had no probs going with them, irrespective of cutting the original system. I only added the h-pipe as I wanted to hear it in real life and it was easily reversible if it was too loud. And it is LOUD........ But so damn addictive I can’t take it off. Cold starts are loud but all I do is drive off as soon as the engine catches so I’m not sitting noisily on the drive although usually it’s in the garage.
But at the end of the day, if for any reason I had to reverse the h-pipe, I would be more than happy with just the axle backs.

@maddog1982 If you want Axle backs and old school sound I would absolutely recommend the Steeda Axle bAck.

The Roush axle back is very loud and is a "max noise for minimum cost" system. The Steeda axle back sounds like something that would suit you a lot better...
