Default offroad xpipe

Just got a 2013 mustang gt premium a few months ago and ive been looking into some mods lately. I just purchased an Araid CAI and need to find a good x-pipe to go with my magnaflow competition catback. I have been looking at the magnaflow offroad tru-x x-pipe and the lethal performance offroad xpipe. I cant really tell what the main difference between the two would be other than the Lethal one being a once piece pipe and the magnaflow comes with detachable downpipes. Is there a big difference in quality of sound/performance. I am looking for an xpipe that is somewhat deep sounding without extreme raspiness. Cost is not an issue and i dont care how loud it is =).

welcome & congrats

As long as it's a off-road x-pipe, and bolts up correctly to the exhaust you're currently running correctly, they should be pretty much the same.

Have you checked out AmericanMuscle.com? Below is a link, and it appears they carry what you're talking about for the 11-12 GT's....you should find out if it works for the 13, or if it's different and they can get you what they need.

Well first off, make sure your state does not emission check and allows you to run off road pipes. You say you dont want raspiness, but o/r pipes make it quite a bit more raspy than running cats. Not only that, an x pipe is known for a higher rasp sound, while an h pipe is a lower muscle car rumble. Would you consider maybe an o/r h? Or high flow cats if you cant run an o/r pipe?

By the way, im not swaying you away from o/r, because if i could do it i would in a heart beat. Just saying it may be raspy, but im sure it depends on the cat back.
Woah, long post. Lol

i know Xpipes tend to be a little raspy im just trying to figure out which of the two xpipes would sound better with my exhaust. I have the magnaflow catback exhaust 15150 with no x-pipe currently and an airaid CAI. With the lethal x-pipe it will sound like this
. with the magnaflow x pipe it sounds like this
. What im mainly wondering is if magnaflows claim to a "tru-x" pipe really makes that much of a difference in sound/performance?

honestly if youre running o/r i dont think it would matter. Both are just straight pipes and same diamater. i couldnt see it being that much difference. When you get into cats i can probably see a difference due to the different materials in the cats im thinking

If cost is no option go for SW long tubes. You will get more power and volume than an o/r x or h pipe can provide on its own. I don't have any rasp but I have cats and gt500 axlebacks. Heres a vid of MBRP catback and catted LT setup.
