WIsh I made clips of my Long tube headers w / stock exhaust / no cats. Sounded way better ! Still pretty good though.

No drone whatsoever?

I went with 3" and it does come in Stainless

see www.flowmonster.com My above thread gives a link to Ebay that looks exactly like the Flowmonster but Cheaper.

Pictures of My X-Pipe Install

Great pics! Did the muffler shop have to drop your exhaust to do the conversion, or did they cut\weld in place?

i think the muffler delete sounds more aggresive, i wonder how the x pipe and mufflers delete would sound..............probably kind of raspy........but then again there are still 2 converters left.......hmmm

CAJUN C4

Yes,Cut / Weld in place.Took him about 2 Hrs.I think He did a fine Job.

I really Love the X-Pipe.Not too loud,not too quite.perfect for a 61 Yr. Old Kid..LOL

CAJUN C4

I think it would sound great. The Cats would tame it down and the
X-Pipe would almost eliminate the drone.You might post it I believe someone else has done the exact thing.

Excellent! I scheduled a Wednesday morning install. Thanks for the advice!

Mike:
Might do a before and after sound clip like I did so we can all hear how good it sounds.

We here on the forum love before and after documentation!

Do you have any sound clips from inside the car while you're driving?

78pacer

I would do a sound\video clip but it would sound just like yours Dennis I will tell you whether or not it was worth the $$. I'll give you a hint.......I opened the magnaflow box and checked the X-pipe out. I could see light pouring thru both un-spot welded seams between the X legs. Apparantly these pipes are stamped as halves then spot welded together. Apparantly mine was made on a Monday.

I did the muffler eliminators on my 93 LT1, they sound great.
Looking for exhaust solutions for my 94 LT5 I figured if the elims sounded so good on the LT1 had to be good for the LT5 too.
Turned out not as good. Was better than the Borla that came with the car. Last summer I replaced the Borla resonator with an X pipe. Turned out great, sounds aggressive when you are getting on it and you can drive it fairly quiet too. I have to get around to posting a sound clip

That suks! Send it back!

As an update....I brought the vete to a muffler shop and they showed me the Magnaflow was way too wide. That fact and the result of the non-existant final welding on the X-pipe prompted me to send it back to them. What a pos! The shop luckily had a 2.5" X-pipe in stock, so in an hours time, they were done. The cost was $90 for the pipe and $70 labor. It was a quality job at a fair price. I'm pissed at Magnaflow for letting such a turd out the door. Customer service is paying for return shipping.
The sound is tamer than I'd like, juat a tad over stock, but has zero drone. The jury is still out on whether or not it was worth the $160.

Had it done to my 95. Don't ask me why but with time mine is sounding better all the time. I don't know why but it is.

So the Magnaflow x-pipe is no good - Too wide? and the 3" Flowmonster x-pipe is okay, fitwise?

CAJUN C4

Flowmonster fits perfectly. I have a 3" Size.Did you check out my Install Pictures?
