Oh ya i have a 04 3.0 X type
id that makes a diffrence

 

First off, the x-type exhaust is VERY constrictive due to it's nature. From the 90 degree bend going into the very huge cats then another 90 out of the cats.To get a "true dual" exhaust, which in my opinion they should have done it from the factory, will require you to know a good performance shop. Cost for stainless exhaust custom fitted will set you back about 1200-1500. Well worth it!Excellent performace gains and a truly awesome sound!

If you're looking just for an agressive tone and don't want to spend lots of cash....get the Borla exhaust mufflers. For 500 bucks, you get 2 mufflers (stainless) with a million mile warranty. Easy to install. You'll need a saws-all to cut the old mufflers off.

Approx time, about 1 hr.

 

Well..
here's mine..
its an unfinished project at this point..
but it still sounds better than that borla crap.
I hate borla
I just have the x-pipe left to do for it

whats so bad about borla? um new to this exhaust stuff

 

rosemont, can you get a longer clip? Sounds good from what I heard...

 

yea ill do it later maybe..

and borla..
idk..
just not my type of sound..
sounds too ricey for me..

but like racer was mentioning...
the custom setup will be the best..

my x-pipe/true dual system should be set up in about a week or two
ill post yet another video of that when its all said and done.
=]

 

what size pipe is on the x. i'm thinkin about redoing mine since i got the welder and i make tube for a living. i plan on making a bender somtime soon for some other projects i got in mind thought this would be a decent one when i got it set up.

 

Surely there is a place in US near to you that does a custom made exhaust.
I got my Quads made to measure (with alifetime warranty) and had a sliding scale to pick how loud or quiet I wanted the exhaust note to sound.
Cost was around £270 (£295 - £25 discountthey paid towards travelling for fuel)
Its on youtube (type X type or jaguar or quads or buckmr2 or mixture maybe of all those tags)during a rolling road session with some Cosworth Owners club but will put a better sound clip upfrom onthe road soon.
