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.

 

You may want to consult your tuner and see if they will turn off the rear o2's before you install that.

 

How bad is the drone?

 

IMO OR X pipe is a smooth, but not to loud upgrade. Just check out youtube there are tons of exhaust videos on there.

 

My 02s are turned off and i still get a code " System not ready" my tuner said becuase my 02s are turned off the car can't get a full system ready. Have any of you guys had this problem?

 

I would get a off road H pipe, unless you like a higher pitched sound. I have an x-pipe, but if I could do it over again, I would have gotten the H.

 

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.

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.

Wow! That sound good and not to raspy. You two got me convinced though, OR Hpipe it is. I've got the $$ for the pipe, now I just need to save up for the tuner.
