Hi guys, new on here, purchased a xfire roadster couple of weeks back, all good I love it, I've noticed that the exhaust seem to favour one exit pipe? as a test I blocked up the easy flowing outlet for a short while & the bad flowing pipe struggled to cope, hissing etc. I was wondering if the rear silencer (muffler) had collapsed? any thoughts guys?

 

There is an early thread (2007? 2008?) that has some photos of the rear box dissected. Waldig posted them, as I recall.

 

How's this? From a James1549 (CLICK) post, pic attributed to shawnkey.

there is an earlier thread when a guy figured out that a rodent was packing dog food into his muffler to the point of the car not running

 

That would be me Sir. It took the Dealer 2 months to figure it out (even with an excellent technician).

 

problem sorted, at a cost though, needed a new cat ( to replace a rattling one), & a new custom built cat back exhaust system added as the original rear box had collapsed internally. Now I've got a purrrrrrfect exhaust. real low end growl with a sporty note when you step on the pedal. Love it. Kept the original tails to leave it looking stock

 

THANKS for the feed back;
Only two forward catalytic converts with or without an X-pipe? Are you using two mufflers ?

 

Shaneth, getting a nice low growl that opens up when you hit the gas is exactly what I am looking for. If possible, let us know the details.
