I thought that around 2k rpm it sounds awesome. When you get on it, yes obnoxious is the word until you have a friend with Loudmouth II mufflers on who goes Sreamin by. My boy has those and it's unreal, makes mine sound like stockers!lol I have a hard to find STAINLESS STEEL O/R X-pipe for sale. It's Brand New and only been on my car for less than 100 miles. I painted it with High temp 1500deg. ceramic paint before I installed. Selling because I bought LT's and need a new X-pipe Fits all 96-04 shorty style!

I have o/r X with SLP original loud mouth exhaust...the one with only the resonator. It is LOUD..and I know the "metellic" sound you speak of!! I recently installed some JBA shorty headers and it actually is quieter. With a much nicer sound. When you get above 4 grand, it's pure music to my ears....

RE: Calling all non cat X-pipers
Yeah that sound was one of a kind as all the X-pipes... Mine was / is a BBK never had any issues with them other than the loudness of this X-pipe.I truely believe with some long tube headers or even good Shorties this unruley twangy sound at certain RPM's wouldnt have been an isssue.

RE: Calling all non cat X-pipers
I also have the BBK o/r x-pipe and am not all that happy with it. It does sound good under hard accel but it has that tingy sound at certain RPMs and when decelerating. I read somewhere that it has something to do with coupling the pipe with Flowmasters which is what I have but it sounds like a few people have this problem with other muffler setups. I also noticed that it causes the exhaust to hang down lower than I'd like. Does anyone else with the BBK have that problem? Taking it off this spring so I can install lowering springs.

RE: Calling all non cat X-pipers
I have an o/r xpipe and 40 series Flowmaster cat back and I love the sound. It sounds good throughout the rpm's. Ive had several compliments from different people. Alot of LSx guys compliment the sound too.
