For anyone on the fences about adding an x-pipe to their 2018+ w/ Active Exhaust I took a video of mine.

The quality is great on the x-pipe. The welds looked awesome, and the fit and finish is top notch. For 130 bucks I don't think you can ask for more.

The sound compared to stock is much higher pitched, it screams up top, it not a traditional deep muscle car rumble.

The stock active exhaust already sounded amazing and this puts it over the top.

Here's a video of me taking off 1st - 3rd, shifting at 6k because I'm not fully through my break in miles yet:



And here's a video of a cold start in quiet mode, transition to track mode, then back to quiet:

I just did the exact same thing and it made a good sounding exhaust turn into an amazing sounding exhaust. Was really bad for MPG though. The pedal always seems to put itself to the floor even more now! Haha

I have the same setup too, love the way it sounds. I never heard how the setup sounded from the outside or shot any videos to check how loud it sounded. This one helps

That's a great video - thank you for sharing!

That is indeed a great set-up - no argument here :)

Excellent, just picked up my new '19 that has the AE, which is awesome, but I could use just a __touch__ more sound. Don't want any drone, it's a convertible, so not quite as sound insulated for the occasional road trip.

It sounds like this X - or maybe the Steeda H (still listening to clips - plus the Active system is really close to what I want (and it's a pretty solid deal).

I have the Steeda H pipe with the active exhaust on my 19. Absolutely love it!

All I have is a cold start and a couple throttle blips. I also saw a nice little bump in torque from 2000-3800 rpm (Steeda H-pipe).
Wow, that's pretty fantastic. So just to clarify, that's an active exhaust?

I had a Solo Thunder on my '16 that I really liked, it went with the car, but I'm digging on the lower, more rumbling tone of the H-pipe + OEM setup (and the AE is very slick).

Yup. I’m not sure about anyone else but besides the Steeda H pipe I also deleted the resonator. I could’t ask for more. The car sounds like a race car in sport mode.
