Don't do it?

I ran an o/r x with 50's and 40's. Sounds nice with the 50's, terrible with the 40's. I'd go with an o/r h if you want to keep your 40's. Or if you REALLY want an o/r x paired with a chambered muffler, go with some MAC mufflers. The flowpaths make an o/r x sound pretty good, not metallicy and super raspy like the flows.

Im gonna be putting my o/r pypes x pipe on here soon and i have the american thunder catback on my car. It sounds pretty good on my buddy's car. It is a tad raspy but it sounds mean.

Let us know when you decide to change it out.
Lol I thought it sounded badass at first. That exhaust got old quick. Sounds like an old truck.

I wouldn't do it. Go w/ an H pipe. I just don't like x pipes at all. Way to raspy for my taste.

Catted X w/chambered mufflers sound decent, with a O/R X they sound like poop. Any H or a PC is secks.

That's fact, not opinion.
