RE: x pipe installed, problems
flows and the BBK x-pipe don't sound good at all. My friend had BBk O/R X w/ the American Thunder catback and it sounded like ****! If i were you, I would go with a MAC Prochamber or a O/R H pipe to make your flows sound good.
I have a BBK X-pipe with a SLP LM catback...now that sounds good (to me).

mine sounds bad as hell, i still get compliments on it but some brands do tend to have this rocks-in-a-tincan sound.
personally, an x-pipe, (especialy o/r) combined with straight-through design muffler sounds awful [:'(] waaay too much snap crackle and popping going on

Not to Hijack this thread but i want to change to a high flow cat set up, and wanted the catted x just to sound unlike every other 4.6 w. the h. And I hate seeing all these treads about which exhaust should I get... but u guy's have thrown a monkey wrench into my plans[sm=joke.gif].
So to wrap this up either get the catted x and change the flows or get a catted h and keep the flows?[sm=sigh.gif]

On Nov. 11th I am changing from stock manifolds, BBK O/R H and 2 1/2" Flowmaster catback to BBK LT's, BBK O/R X and 2 1/2" Flowmaster catback. I have search for this setup and can not find sound clips. I will post one once everything is done. This way finally we will have a clip for reference.

that's a horrible combination, imo. always sounds how you are describing it.

its a bbk X with flows catback, stock everything else

the sound you are hearing is the combonation of a bbk X with cats and a set of flowmasters.
In other words, puke
BTW, the mils don't always work. +1 on the tuner solution.
