I can't take it! Need opinion

[forbanger]

Well, I drove the beast this weekend(3rd time) and the exhaust is bugging the crap out of me. Bought the car with bassani cat back with flow tubes and huge tips also has an X pipe with no cats( Think it is UPR).

The damn thing is loud I mean LOUD. I was yelling at my wife while on the freeway cruising at 65mph.

Do you guys think this is beacuse of the xpipe or the whole exhaust set up? If it is the uncatted xpipe what brand of x pipe are you running with cats (most performance)?

Thanks,
Jose

get an MRT catted H pipe. You'll love the sound.

 

[forbanger]

what is the dif between an X and an H pipe?

 

[wizdawg]

My guess is the xpipe. i had an o/r x and it was way too loud and raspy for my taste. I took it off and sold it with within days. I replaced with it the stock H, then later replaced it with a o/r prochamber which I really like.

Get yourself a catted mid-pipe and you'll be much happier about the sound.

I run a Bassani catback and Bassani catted X. Has a great tone IMHO wo/ waking my neighbors . If you are ever in the N or NW burbs of Chicago let me know. I'll catch up with you somewhere & you can take a listen.

Bassani has baffles inserts for their stainless steel mufflers. With baffles in = people pulling you over to tell you how good your exhaust sounds. Without baffles in = police pulling you over and neighbors yelling at you.

 

[Ear Rak]

the difference is right in the name.

An H-Pipe is shaped like an H:

An X-Pipe is shaped like an X:

And a prochamber looks like this (and in my opinion sounds the best):

Thanks Man!
I found them on LFP for $99. Ordered them, Hope they work.

Thanks again!

What did you order for $99?

 

[forbanger]

What did you order for $99?

I ordered bassani baffles.

I ordered bassani baffles.

They won't make much of a difference.

What you really need is a catted mid-pipe. I (or somebody on this site) may have their old Bassani baffles lying around. I took mine out and was only slightly louder (hardly a difference). It's more expensive, but the x-pipe is your issue and will quiet the car dramatically, especially at cruising speeds.

If I find my baffles in the garage, you're welcome to try them out.

pretty much my story, i hate x pipes. i have an o/r pro chamber + mac cat back and love it. wouldnt switch it for anything else.

I have a catted x pipe, with magnaflow cat back.

O/R X pipe
Magnaflow catback

With this setup you can have a conversation in the car w/out yelling, experience no drone on the expressway and have a smile on your face at WOT...

I have a Mac 3" catback and Mac Prochamber. It sounds bad ass, loud but not too loud. It's perfect for me!

i think if you still want to have the power sound but less cabin noise, go back to the stock h-pipe. or defintely get a catted aftermarket pipe. btw the difference in the x-pipe & h-pipe in performance isnt really much. supposedly x-pipe will net a little more hp. The h-pipe will get a litttle more torque. its really negligible though.

 

[forbanger]

Well, I installed the baffles:clap: I am happy to say that it made a pretty big difference especially on the highway. If I am going exactlly 65mph on the highway it is still kind of loud but at around 68 to 71mph its just a slight hum.
Who goes exactlly 65 anyway?
Bottomline is I can talk with whoever is in the passenger seat without yelling.

Thanks for the tips guys! especially to flyin high again(cliff) for recomending those!

I like the baffled sound.. I run kooks x pipe w/cats, and Magnaflow Enhanced Sound cat back. Very mild when your not gettin on it... anything past 3000-3500RPM WHOOA!!

bassani high flow cats made my exhaust sound better. I first ran the car with the borla stingers alone and all it did was crackle bad, it sounded like crap. I placed those in and it took it all away it sounds so nice now and isn't to loud but also not to quiet either.

 

[TwoTonedRoush]

also the x-pipe I believe is supposed to change the flow characteristics to speed up the exhaust travel so that is exits faster, or so I read.

 

[Crawlin03Snake]

it is deffinately the x pipe. i had prochamber on my mac catback then switched to upr x-pipe and the car got way louder. then switched mac for slp lm2 and it is rediculous. i kinda regret trading it but every mustang i had has had mac and i needed to change it up
