I'd be interested in this, but I have to agree with apkano about the stock tips...I'd hate to lose those!!

 

I'm not a big fan of oval tips.They look too dowdy and uninspired like something a fuddy duddy would put on an over accessorized Corvette with like slotted chrome taillight covers and fuzzy dice. I'd have to wait and see it in person or see it in a video or something. I'd love to keep the stock tips, but I don't want to cannibalize the stock system. Round tips would look better in my opinion than two easter eggs coming out the back. If it sounds as good as everyone says though I could overlook it.

PS when is someone gonna post a video already!!! lol.

 

Sounds like popcorn. lol.

I got my magnaflow installed. Sounds amazing. Even my dad liked it, and he constantly bashes on my friends and their loud civics and preludes. Sounds NOTHING like anything that is going around my town, that's for sure! Very very deep tone that just starts to scream at higher RPMs.

The car used to turn alot of heads, now I have people running out of their house to see what's coming down the street. Pretty wild.

 

not too exited about the sound kinda gargled but the tips look good... i like the stock ones but they are a pain to clean... i don't know...

 

I think I got one of the first Magnaflow systems out of the factory for the Crossfire. It was a really easy installation and sounded great from day one.

I had it on now about three months and I'm still digging it. If anything, the tone has mellowed a bit. Or maybe I've grown used to it. But I could not imagine going back to the factory exhaust now. The magnaflow system ROCKS !

Slim's dead on. the car sounds amazing. it just feels good to drive around and then when i stop/park people comment on how good it sounds, and why not all our cars sound this good.

Has anyone seen or heard an Eisenhaus system on an X? http://www.eisenhaus.com/ehdetails.p...&Submit=Submit

IMO, the best sound of all, but I don't want to be the first to do the custom integration.

hmmm that's sounds nice.

 

The eisenhaus system sounds pretty good...just a little expensive for my tastes!

 

i'm telling you i'm seriously thinking on making mine.

 

how much was it to put in a magnaflow true dual exhaust... i was quoted $550... is it suppose to be way less than that...

 

true duals ? as in fully custom fabricated then ? that's cheap then as long as they do a nice quality install ... muffler alone is about $100 + stainless piping around $50 bux + exhaust tips unless you get one of the mufflers that comes with them + labor, the most expensive part .... the labor involved with making a good quality system like this as a one off item is more than $500 bux ... thats assuming they are using a mandrel bender and stainless piping along with a tig welder ...

if you are not sure if thats the case ... just buy the magnaflow cat back system ... you will never know the difference.

 

I have the Magnaflow Cat-back system. It runs around $ 500 shipped. Unless you have your own tubing bender and can TIG weld you would have difficulty duplicating it yourself for less. Quality stainless exhaust systems are not cheap but I wouldn't put anything less on a quality German performance/sports car (which, aside from the Chrysler badges, is what a Crossfire is...) The Magnaflow is a cinch to install and uses two mufflers with nice big built-in tips. You can cut off the rear cats and make it a true dual system later on if you want to. Once my warranty expires that's my plan!

I'll stick with the OEM exhaust. First, the exhausts above look after market and two, the sound does not fit the car... you're trying
to make it sound like something it's not. For those that like it great, but it's not for me...

 

I have started working on my own exhaust, using components. I picked up an emco? muffler, its pretty much a huge muffler with directional "v's" in it, super great flow, awesome sound on start-up, great grumble through about 3,000 - 3,500, and then you can just hear the exhaust flowing through it at higher rpms, its not terrible noise, doesn't sound like a grinder, and I have had a lot of people comment on how nice it sounds, one guy even made me grin from ear to ear and tell me that I sound like an open wheel racer. he he I eventually will go duals all the way back, but was a reasonable way to start for cost, and I cut off the factory tips and welded them onto the emco. So it looks stock, the tips sit just a little bit lower, and just a hair back from stock position. When I took it to a dealer for some warranty work, ugh I hate our dealers here, they were all amazed and wondered how many miles I had put on mine to make it sound like that, they bone heads didn't even realize I had changed the muffler, if that doesn't tell you how worthless the local dealers are.

 

I would like to hear what the IMCO cherry bomb sounds like. Sounds to me like what BCThomas has on his.

 

Add this to my list of sound clips at the beginning of the thread:

Jared... Did You Ever Get Your Exhaust Done? I'm About To Do Mine Next Month But I Want To Find The Best Chip Before I Do It. Did It Really Make A Difference...

 

I am ordering an Ansa muffler in the morning. 15 inch long can that is 6 inch by 9 inch wide with twin 80mm tips.
