Default SLP Resonator Xpipe

Has anyone tried this? I need an xpipe and if this doesn't reduce power by much it might be nice. I have the Stingers, (which I love) but with the windows up the resonanace starts to annoy me a bit.

Thanks!!

Pete

I've got these. At first I had just the loudmouths and that was nice but sounded to motorboatish, so I put a set of glass packs on. Well those sounded great (Smooth loud tone, I imagine similar to the stingers) but I had a rattle so I decided to go with the SLP resonator.

Quieted it down a LOT more than I expected. Also it hangs a little low (About the same as my glasspacks) so there will be a little extra scrapage if you are lowered.

It'll definatly quiet you down and smooth out the tone if that's what you are looking for

One thing the X-pipe does really well is knock the volume of sound down. I would say as much as 20% or more depending on the system on your car. Some systems need them and some don't. If you like the tone but want to turn the volume down, install an X-pipe. For a lot less money you can open the hole in the H-pipe. I would try that first and then the X-pipe.
