Hahahahaha yea right, ur x pipe looks way better than mine, as a matter of fact i took out m y phone to look at your x pipe online while i was there and got all 😢

But yes it did quite down the exhaust!!! WHY? i thought the x pipe gave it that good rumble, and mad it louder? On the Elko it had the h pipe and i love that sound, oh well i guess i will deal with the x pipe for know, once i start riding it more offten i might like it...

The x pipe quiets the exhaust down because instead of all the pressure from one side of your motor going to only one muffler it goes to both of your mufflers. So theres kind of less pressure at each one because there sharing and its not as loud.. I kept telling everyone my car was going to be loud then when i finally got it running it was quieter than i thought it would be :rofl: My 305 with 1 flomaster sounded way louder

You got all the hook ups $100 is cheap! and Nah man I like the way the X looks on yours it looks like it flows real good! did he build that while you were there or he already had them made??


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :wtf: i really thought it would be louder, everyone tells me to get the xpipe, like i said the h pipe on the elko sounded real clean, u can hear that rumble, maybe the x pipe will save me from turning heads, Plus i kinda like it too, becuase u know how Cali cops are...imagine a clean mally rolling with a loud exhaust, thats for sure a pull over, so itsa ll good.. :wink:
 
What mufflers are you running? Im running a Pypes x pipe (2.5") out to some old school Thrush welded's on my SS. Loud and mean as f@ck! Lol. I had em mounted at the headers before I got the x installed. Smoothed it out and quieted it down a lil(just a lil) lol..

I think you said you had Flowmaster 40 series on the El. That could be the difference right there. My thrush Welded's are a 2 chamber setup. Loud!! And the X smoothed it out and quieted it down (some-lol) But trust me. Drone is no fun. The family would be wanting to jump out the Bu after a lil while. lol
