hey guys, bought the pypes splice in x pipe from brenspeed this weekend, and im pumped about getting it on. I did search and couldnt find anything on this particular part. The only thing I came up with is the off road x / h pipes. My question is will I get a little more power up top but lose some low end torque ? And like always... will there be a sound difference ? Only thing I have done exhaust wise are the mac ax-backs. (this pipe keeps the stock cats) Does this splices in right before or right after the cats ?

thanks in advance

 

it's going to be more raspy.

 

anyone have any sound clips or videos ?

 

It will definitely be louder, and more raspy. That's the x splice in to keep the cats, right?

 

yes sir

 

This was my first thought.. I am not a big fan of the mac mufflers with an x pipe. I heard it with offroad pipes, maybe it will sound better with cats..

 

generally x pipes are for non chamberd muffs like either straight pipes or glass packs. ie my pypes mid muffs but you will get a bit more raspy and more power BIT of power but that being said thats for non chamberds i dont know how its gonna act with your set up

 

thanks for the input, will have the pipe on and videos up by the end of the weekend if the weather holds out...

got the pipe in, didnt have to cut anything, not a very noticeable difference in sound at idle or start... only when its reved up. couldnt really get on it due to weather conditions at this time, but i do have a question for you experts... the instructions that came with the pipe, available thru this site
