x-pipe is on

[99GTtony]

Got the o/r x on last night, not 100% sure if I like it yet. Also have a couple of rattles that need to be tracked down today. Also make an odd sound in the cabin of the car. It is def loud and proud though.

what kind? and what are your other exhaust mods?

With an X Pipe, I'm willing to guess trumpets. That's an unfortunate side effect of x pipes.

everyone always talks about trumpets....what exactly does that mean...i mean obviously something with the sound of the exhaust....but ive listened to clips where people have said that it trumpets and i dont hear anything lol can someone explain?

My o/r x pipe doesn't "trumpet" or make any weird sounds. It sounds perfect IMO

 

[99GTtony]

eh. Is all I can say. I like the sound at idle from the rear, but its a bit too loud in the car, and doesn't sound quite right in the cabin. It sound sick when I'm on it. BUT I think it leaned the car out. I think it sounds like it's pinging, or maybe that's the 'trumpet' sound you guys are talking about. It is a very low volume kinda of a ticking/hollow noise when it's idling. I am running a C&L 87 tune, and the Roush axle-back is actually maganflows with roush stamped on them. Anyone think it could be leaning out? Should I bump up to a higher octane fuel?

still have rattle issues with your xpipe?
