Has anyone tried to put an axle back exhaust kit from a mustang on an X Type.
I have been looking around and the kit looks like they would fit.
If anyone has any info or insight please post a reply.
Any pics would be great.
I have a 2007 X type 3.0.

 

bigbigbrig, I am sure with enough massaging of the tubing, you can make it work. But, I ask this simple question, what are you looking to gain from this? The stock muffler is pretty free flowing. So, if you are looking for any performance gains, they are going to be minimal. If you are going after a sound, you may get that, but it is still a gamble as to what the sound is going to be as the mufflers are merely a single part of a complicated "equation" of what the final exhaust note is going to be.

So, unless you are getting the mufflers for free and you have the ability to massage the piping yourself (and weld it back together), for the money that it is going to cost you, the gains are not going to justify the cost for most people. But, your car. You do as you see fit.

 

My reasoning was that I wanted a little more growl from the exhaust and that alot of the mustang exhaust kits come with 4" tips. I thought the 4" round tips would look good on my car.

 

Check out youtube for mina, Adamesh, and borla exhaust kits.
these are made for our little kitty also come in a variety of tip configuration (google/bing them for images).
plenty of vids on how they sound.
what are you looking at for cost on the mustang tips?

 

bigbigbrig, for what you are after, I would talk with a muffler shop and have them put some tips on the car for you and call it good. Worst case, they can modify the muffler to give you a 4" exit and that will probably give you the growl that you are after too. Probably be out the door for $100 or so.
