Here's a video of a Macleod X-pipe straight pipe with no mufflers. Probably not what you're looking for, but what the heck.

 

Yea, that's a little to cop magnet for me!!

 

Funny thing is, I drove around with straight pipes for at least a month and was never pulled over for the exhaust. During that time, I was stopped for no front plate and window tint, but the cop never mentioned the loud exhaust.

 

Hi Guys,

I'd like to order this, can someone confirm that an '03 XKR takes the 2.5" x-pipe? I have the Mina exhaust...

MAGNAFLOW CROSSOVER X-PIPE STAINLESS 10791

discount code of "audipipes" works...

Thanks

 

Tiko - Actually, on my 2006 I installed a 2.25" Magnaflow X-Pipe. The stock pipe is closer to 2.125" and the 2.25" welds up without having to use an adapter. However, if you are going to go with 2.5" pipes from the X-Pipe back, you'll need an adapter somewhere, so a 2.5" crossover would make sense. I think the Mina's may be 2.5" pipes already, but you'll still have to fabricate something to get from the X-Pipe outlet to the beginning of the Mina system.

Hope it works for you.

 

I just had my guy in Delran, NJ do up my exhaust. Put in the magnaflow X-pipe crossover and removed the 3 mufflers. It has a nice mellow sound, not to obnoxious but a low growl at idle and a slight throat when acelerting. Not to pretnetious. I like it.

 

Joe - Now yours is the same as mine. It's a pretty nice sound.
Did you do anything to the stock pipes over the axle???

Cheers,

 

Are you saying that you are not running any mufflers?

 

Hey Lew, - Technically, I guess that's right. The rearmost can is all that's left, and it is a straight-through resonator. But I suspect it acts a lot like a "glass-pack" muffler. Another bit of information I was told is that the catalytic converters on the XKs have significant noise damping effect too. I certainly can say that it is much, much quieter than my old Corvette with mufflers that are direct replacements for the stock ones.

Cheers,
