"Snappy" exhaust note.
#12
I'm just an admitted noob, but I believe if you are going to spend more money to get the sound you want, it would be best spent in replacing your X pipe with an H pipe. Quoting Cliffyk in the "Where to start with bolt-ons" Sticky "Open up the exhaust;
2-1/2" from the manifolds back, H- or X-pipe as you prefer (the H-pipe will favour the lower end at the expense of HP above 5300 rpm or so). "Soundwise" think H-pipe = Musclecar, X-pipe = NASCAR. Some say that H-pipes sound better with chambered mufflers, and X-pipes best with straight-through mufflers--I am one of those.

Ok last question, I think I've cornered the problem.
My X pipe is made out of a different metal than the rest of the system. It is VERY thin and hollow. If you tap it you can hear how thin it is.
Could this be what is making the sound?
Had my brother start up the car with me under it so I could hear it but it only makes the snappy sound when it's underload, not in neutral.
