Quite the opposite. Not stealthy or quiet. When you jump on it, it goes WAHHAAAA

 

i am currently redoing my xpipe, and installing downpipes with highflow cats as well will have it done with pics in a few hours. I will try a vid but not that easy to do with my phone an me lol. The old xpipe location according to the scortch marks was not optimum so did a better location.

 

Not optimal for the stock cats or the new downpipes?

Was that 18 inches from the trailing cat flange to the center of the X? What do you think it should be now?

 

It acually ended up being around 24 inches away from the trailing edge of the cat, is it the best spot who really knows but just following the scorch marks LOL

 

Thats where my started burning, about 10 inches from the second set of mufflers. I did my with stock mid-pipe installed.

 

yeah its pretty crazy what different mufflers, cats, pipe size and everything will change where things like to be lol

 

So the scorch mark was 24 inches after the flange joint following the cat? Or from the end of the cat itself?

 

end of the cat

 

Video.....?

 

I think he is too busy working on some other major projects...

 

Sorry man between working on a few big projects and having a few car problems myself lol I am very busy and i only get a week at a time to wk on things while I am home from the fields. I go back for 2 weeks this Sat so if I can I will if not sorry.

I mean just to give some insight I have been going from 5am this morning and here it is midnight and Im just able to come home eat something and try and relax n unwind so I can go to sleep.

 

Nice to read this,
i'm working too on an nice sound from my XJR...
At the moment i've tryed different combinations: first muffler straight, second and rear standart, sounds ok but i think too silent
2. First and second straight, rear original, sounds good but if you open the throttel wide it sounds very aggressiv...
Last on, complete straight.... sound... World war 3
Now im running combinaton 2

Fruther project, redesign the rear muffler for lower exhaust gas speed and deeper sound like an SL55 AMG

Regards Maxi

 

Combo #2 .. define "sounds very agressive"

Are you running any type of X or H crossover?

 

My new down's and new cat's are going in mid august. These new additions will be coupled to my Borla cat back exhaust (Love the Borla Sound). I will post a video of the sound inside and out. I was thinking of putting in electric cut outs after the cat's when this Cat needs to get really angry/// I remember when I did my engine swap thinking to myself those are the worst bends and cat's I had ever seen.

 

It sounds a bit like a Corvette with headers and no exhaust...

Yes i'm running a small H-Pipe which fitted in the original pre muffler

Maxi

 

might sound like a dumb question but are the mufflers at the end of the exhaust and then the resonators are in the middle?

 

that is correct and theres no such thing as a dumb question

 

False!

My wife is asian. I once had a couple approach us and ask if her parents were asian too. That qualifies as a dumb question

 

 

Not true if she was adopted they could have not been asian so there take that Mr smarty pants. Or what if she just looks Asian and maybe they couldnt tell lol. Come on im trying here to help out cus theres always a reason people wanna ask a question dont mean it makes sense to us but to them it does LOL
