Well a cutout would be the other option, but that would be more expensive than picking up an X setup.

And I think a cutout would sound worse too.

well you know for sure an x pipe and true dual dumps is gonna outflow any y pipe you can get. if your just looking for sound then you should look back into the cutout again...sound isnt a good reason to toss out a perfectly good exhaust...especially if its as good as everyone else is saying.



you could do what i did. put an ad on ls1tech looking for someone to trade. i had to drive to CT to make the trade but it was worth it. why not look around into something like that

I would never get rid of my catback, its original from back in 1995... LOL sentimental attachment I suppose...

I may pull the muffler off and slap a down turn on, see how it sounds. One of the tips needs to be fixed anyways. Speed bumps ftl.

Wait, you're an auto trapping at 105 with heads/cam? Holy ****, I thought you had a 6-speed...dude....you need to some things looked at...there's no way you should be trapping that low.

You do realize that the $100 X-pipe is aluminized, not stainless, has no flanges, and requires assembly...

Yup, currently my setup is slip fit, and I have no problem with assembling things... just need an instruction manual...

Nah, I will just leave my setup now, if funds permit, try and pick up an electric cutout.

Hardly. I would love an X pipe, but at the same time, a lot of good points were made against it... one day perhaps.

Its an automatic car...practice isnt going to fix his really low trap speed.

Yes it will....the low trap on his one and only pass was a result of him spinning from the time he launched the car until somewhere close to the 330' mark since he didn't heat up the drag radials.

If he hooked it and only trapped 105, then I'd say he has issues.

For launching, hell yes it will. I ran on regular tires and spun like mad at the track and killed my time/mph. 15.1 @ 96. With more practice that could be way better. Hit the limiter in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, no matter when I backed off.
