X pipe in place of rear cats
Will a 2.25 inch x pipe in place of rear cats help the drone out? I know the power increase is negligible but I want the deeper sound, along with the more balanced exhaust flow and I heard it could also help the drone. Has anyone had any personal experience? Thank you in advance.

Re: X pipe in place of rear cats
So just got back, the xpipe didnt fit. The pipes were too far apart to work with our pipes so we ended up using some regular pipe! Worked out great, the sound is deeper and i have noticed a little less drone which is great. If you can measure and find a pre-made xpipe to fit, that would be perfect. Your mechanic should be able to custom make one for you just fine though. I decided to try this out for a bit and go back if i wanted him to make it into an xpipe. The only mechanic willing to take off cats was my dads buddy, hes a bit redneck so it looks a little jury-rigged im sure :)

Re: X pipe in place of rear cats
Dang that’s a bummer that the x pipe didn’t fit!! So you the drone had been cut? Is noticeable or would you not recommend it? Lastly what size piping did you use on place of the rear cats? Was it just regular straight piping? Thanks for all the help, trying to get this right before the girlfriend visits next weekend! |

Re: X pipe in place of rear cats
One more thing, the drone isn’t coming from deleting the rear cats. If you have a stock exhaust you will be fine it’ll only make your exhaust more throaty and deep sounding. I have drone from the smaller sport muffler vibrating the hell outta everything! |
Re: X pipe in place of rear cats
Honestly I kind of want to straight pipe this car in hope of s few baby flames and nice crackles. Not sure that’s the key though lol. I’ve got the Megan exhaust on the back of it and the tone is absolutely perfect, love how it sounds! Just need to find a way to A) kill drone, and B) make it crackle and pop. Any ideas? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
Re: X pipe in place of rear cats
Good advice with the gf too, she’s happy if I’m happy but I’m picking her up from Sarasota next week and want to make the 1.5 hour car ride a little bearable for her ;) but yeah the drone is definitely coming from the exhaust, and really just annoying only on the highway. Maybe a side branch resonator would fix the issue |
Re: X pipe in place of rear cats
Hey man, just one more question. Did deleting the rear cats make the exhaust crackle/pop more? Its the one thing I miss from my old stang I had. Pretty much had it straight piped but I was just wondering if it made any of that noise.

You can put a spark plug at the end of the tail pipe with a coil and an oscillator, hook up some propane and really have some fun :)

Sorry old man, my cars don't sit in the garage. I drive 20k miles a year as an 18 year old. I work hard for what I have, loud is what I like. It'd sound stock to your old ears if i didn't get it to shoot flames anyways!
