Mina offers a "muffler delete" package, straight pipes to the tips. A friend has the complete exhaust package that sounds great.
I would like something more aggressive, but not obnoxious. Any thoughts?

 

The cat converters actually do most of the noise reduction, and are a limiting factor here.

Also, losing the crossflow piece could cause some loss of performance.

 

The package is straight from fwd mufflers, eliminating the rear ones only. Tips have resonators. Mina shows HP increase on dyno graph

 

Thanks for the clarification.

When i removed the two small mufflers in front of the rear axles and replaced the over the axle crushed pipes with round ones, keeping the rear boxes, i did see a slight HP increase on my friend's dyno. Not enough to matter, but a fun thing to note.

From what I have read here that is the route to take, although I haven't pulled the trigger yet. Removing the rears resulting in droning at steady speeds. Wouldn't be cool. TM

 

I bought the Mina exhaust system and air intake tube for my 1997 XK8 and it sounds great, especially when you put your foot into it. It has the straight pipe to the 1 can at the back on each side and duel pipes running back from there, no tips.

 

Biggest power increase is replacing the over axle pipes (with secondary set of mufflers) as the OEM pipe crushes down.
