Off road X-pipe? Yes or No?
I've been itching to the stang to sound a little louder and an off road x-pipe should fix that. Are they that much louder then catted stock H-pipe? I don't want to be that a$$hole with an obnoxiously loud car too though. Should I just save up for a catted version? Do I need anything since I don't have a tuner? Should I wait until I can afford a tuner, CAI, and the x-pipe?
Any sound clip would be great, especially with Magnapacks.

It will be louder but I don't think overly obnoxious. A friend of mine has L/H headers, O/RX, Magnapacks and Hot Rod Cams. It's loud but not obnoxious. It sounds awesome. If you don't tune it, you will get a CEL but it won't affect anything else.

I have stock headers, O/R x pype, and flowmaster a/ts. its not obnoxiously loud at all. Its loud, but its a neck breaker haha. I love it. I have a tuner and stuff, but yeah with no cats you will get a error code because of the o2 sensors.

It is super loud at startup but after 20 seconds or so it quiets down a bit. Anything over 1/2 throttle and it's pretty damn loud, removing cats makes cars stupid loud I don't car what anyone else here says. Some just like loud cars.
Here is a clip of mine... Magnaflow offroad X with Corsa Sports mufflers and stock headers.

I'm with silentbob... I would have gotten an offroad H if I had to do it all over again. I'm not a fan of the raspiness that comes with the X. But I got a smoking deal from my buddy so it was hard not to pass up.
