x pipe installed, problems
well i installed my buddys x pipe this past saturday the install went very good took me about 1.5 hrs to install. we went to test drive it and it sounds good until he revs high or gets on it hard it makes a loud tinny sound and i cant find anything touching the pipe
also the friggin cel is on [:@] i put the mils on and he had it scaned and it says that the right side bank 2 is the problem. any thoughts on this

RE: x pipe installed, problems
what do you mean a loud tinny sound? like pipes bouncing off eachother? or like an exhaust leak? are the bolts tightend up good? i heard mils only work like half the time or something. he should have bought a tuner.

well there's nothing you can do about the sound That's the 'tune' of the x-pipe. New mufflers with a different resonance frequency will help with that.
As for the MILs don't have any experience with those.

its a bbk X with flows catback, stock everything else

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

Is it a bad combo because of the year of car or because of the 2 manufactors don't sound good together?
The reason that I'm asking is I'm thinking of getting a BBK catted X plus I have a Flowmaster cat back.
