Default XS Catback

Just purchased one of Jon's systems and installed last night. Took it out for a test and I do like the sound.
Is it possible that at 70 mph it is actually more quiet than stock? Amazed at the no drone aspect of this system. Attitude when foot in it but at crusing speed no sound at all.
Amazing!

I have the XSPower system also from Jon and love it! Virtually no drone, but sounds great at WOT! I also have an X-Pipe with Factory cats.

Do you have the stock H-Pipe or an X-Pipe?

I'm very happy w/ mine as well. Sounds like an absolute beast when accelerating, quiet at cruise. I'm still running the stock H-pipe on mine. Great price and american made to boot... Not sure that you can beat the XS Power catback overall.

Glad all of you are happy with it, it really does act as the jack of all trades for a street car catback! Thanks!
