not today but last week got an XForce Varex exhaust fitted, sounds nice outside but er not so different in the cabin

so today er ghetto sound tube stop. I hang my head in shame. Will need to test this when the wind dies down and stops blowing cats and dogs down the street! Thanks to WD Pro for dimension info

Finished with the concrete slab structure and placed the lift in the carport. Wil make life a lot easier in the future.

Loving your set up! I need to get my drive done, it'll be big enough for 4 cars when it is finally started but no where for a ramp or car port unfortunately

Maybe you need to get an h-pipe made up? I was used to Roush’s with an h-pipe before I got my x-force so HAD to replace that centre box . Now it’s nice and relatively civilised with flaps shut and rather fruity with them open (in the car too). GT101 got the h-pipe fabricated for mine and are currently getting a double-h-pipe made up for me.

Why a double H pipe ?

Run out of things to do to it so just thought I’d see if there’s much of a difference between single or double. Also fancy trying out the round silencers instead of the oval ones at some point.

I wondered if if was a different sound I’ve seen double x pipes too

it is the Xforce cat back so it's replaced the stock unit - did you then remove the XForce box and replace with just an H pipe?

Yep, the centre resonator section.

i might have to go this way, damn the Xforce is boringly quiet even on loud mode. Dammit, poor choice on my part but thank you for the info and pic

 

[raptor17GT]

@Benno2000 - do you have any sound clips inside / outside with the vales open / closed ?

The Xforce does what I really wanted which is the valve function and now allows me to go louder but manage the cold-starts better.

My feeling is that that centre resonator probably comes into it’s own once the Xforce headers are added.

I’ve no clips to hand but will try and get some this week. (Although the interior one may be polluted by the Cervinis hood as being fibre-glass, it makes the induction roar of the GT350 cold air box very noticeable).

Benno.

I made some noise

I put some quick miles on it and I believe the one piece driveshaft has been as much of a step change in the automatic driving experience as the Kenne Bell tune which completely woke up the gearbox.

I think carbon fibre is unnecessary. Aluminum will be just fine.

Gear changes are almost seamless. It's easily a top five modification for me. I'm working on the video for this.

Bad point. Diff noise is very noticeable. Particularly now that I have installed the halfshafts.

Lots of video material and tips etc all coming soon. Hint: none of it is as easy as the retailers make it out to be. So I'll be sharing all the mistakes and errors so yall don't have to make those.

Haha thanks. Its been a long road building it and to get it looking like this but so worth it. The lift makes working on the cars a joy. I'm actually considering a 1968 restoration project now but... Let's see.

yeah I got it for that quiet start and own neighbourhood driving function - it's great for that as no louder than stock, even a little bit quieter but I was expecting more volume and tone in the open mode. Oops.
