What X-pipe should I get?

[Nr1864]

Hello! I'm a new member to this site, and also relatively new to the modding community. I've got a 2012 V6 Mustang that has the following exhaust mods:

Borla Stinger AB
Roush CAI
BBK 73mm TB
BBK Ceramic Shorty Headers
MPT 87 Tune

I'm looking to get an x-pipe for my Mustang, to increase its loudness a bit (I don't want it screaming). As well as make it growl deeper. I live on campus, so i don't want my car being too loud. I've seen two options for x-pipe so far: BBK Catted X-Pipe, and Ford Performance Cut and Clamp x-pipe. (linked below).

Any recommendations for my daily driver?

This is an S550 forum (2015+). You're not likely to find much experience with a 2012. Any x-pipe will definitely make your setup louder.

BBK catted X is if you have long tubes, Ford Performance X will fit in later in the system behind your cats anyways. Both (really any) will give you about the same volume gain. With the Stingers, I don't think an X alone will make it unbearable so it shouldn't be too bad.

Just run a cheap ebay x-pipe. The 2011-2014s already have a hybrid x pipe from the factory. Just make sure you coat it with some VHT paint before install.

If you're not into that option then run this option:

I have run both on my old 2013. Slightly different exhaust tones with no difference in performance.

Oh and update that tune to 91 or 93. You will really feel the difference in your car with those tunes. The 87 is very lacking in punch.
