Just had my muffler guy cut out the 2 Jag resonators and weld in a stainless X pipe, the sound is awesome, car revs faster and pulls harder. Gotta get a track day in SOON!

 

Get back to the dyno!

 

Any drone? On my previous Lincoln LS V8 i replaced the resonator with an X pipe muffler and while it sounded amazing, the drone was near unbearable

 

Wow that looks awesome. Your muffler guy should start selling these. Did you have to retune for it? Curious about highway drone as well?

 

Plenty of manufacturers/sellers of these X-pipes, including MagnaFlow, for example see here: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/mpe-10791

 

No drone, it sounds great.

 

Ooooh ooooh, I sure would like to hear a sound clip.

 

Did your tone change? Curious how it would be with the Mina you have and x-pipe.

 

That's awesome!

How much did that set you back?

I was thinking of doing the same, but adding flowmasters in the back


Also - Is it a 2.5"?

 

Yes, its 2.5 out, Muffler shop owner and I go back about 10yrs so it cost me $140.

 

Thank u sir!

I just wonder how it sounds, online sound clips are nothing like in person sound.

Stock rear mufflers, right?

 

I currently have the mina axle-back and x-pipe (replaced both resonators). It drones really bad during 1500 Rpms. I will be having the mina axle-back replaced by Spires Stage 2.

P.S: Drone is really unbearable for N/A 5.0 2012

 

Let me know if you are interested in selling the Mina. I also have a 2012 NA 5.0L.

 

Are you sure? It drones really bad in the cabin. And by the way, the mina muffler was welded because of the fitment issue. I'll take the picture of it to give you a pocture.

 

Hmm, welds and drone are not good.

 

The underbelly of your car is cleaner than my kitchen!

I paid $900 for my Mina....$140????

 

I have the stock exhaust other than deletion of the two resonators, X-pipe, and valves welded open on the stock mufflers. Love the sound!! Didn't notice much in terms of performance gains but its hard to notice small HP gains with a car making close about 580hp.


Looks great and yes, you car is amazingly clean on the underside! lol

 

Yeah really....580, 585, 590 - I'd be shocked if you could decipher these rocket ships!

 

West coast cars got it easy with low grime and no road salt to deal with, plus I don't drive Higgins in the rain, if possible.

 

sound clips are necessary!!
