FRPP X-pipe installed, first impressions
I just added to the FRPP X-pipe to my FRPP GTAs. Some first impressions:
- Smooths out the exhaust note/engine noise
- No noticeable different at idle as far as I could tell
- At part throttle has a slightly louder and more refined tone, but still very much sounds like a V8
- Full throttle the X-pipe and GTAs really scream, louder than without the X-pipe, but not obnoxious
- Not raspy at all, I was a bit worried about that from what I read here, but it doesn't sound raspy at all, maybe that's specific to O/R X-pipes, I don't know
- My butt-o-meter tells me that the car pulls harder, so there seems to be a small performance gain
I had a the X-pipe installed at a muffler shop, took about 30 minutes. I had it welded, and the install was painless. Overall I'm very happy with the result and would do it again in a heart beat.

RE: FRPP X-pipe installed, first impressions
glad to hear it worked out, I spent all day yesterday trying to get my PYPE'S O/R X pipe on yesterday and it fits like ****. ordered a set of bbk shortys today so hopefully that will help, sound is good but the car is still on blocks due to the passenger side not sealing against the exhaust manifold
