V exhaust with X-Pipe and Magnaflow Mufflers

ILLMATIK · #1 (**permalink**) 05-31-07, 03:17 PM

Gonna get this by trading my 3.6 exhaust with mebegood. I've never been to happy with the aspects of the stock exhaust. But my question is.... What does the V-exhaust with X-Pipe and and Magnaflow mufflers do? How do the X-Pipe and Magnaflow Mufflers enhance the V-exhaust?

It should flow better as well as flow more noise. The X-Pipe was intense IMO.

On a dyno it added 4HP on a Corvette. Not worth it for the noise. Sold mine cheap to another Member.

Is the X-pipe illegal in most states? I was telling my buddy who was helping me install the Corsa that I wanted to get an X-pipe, he told me that it's probably illegal, I don't care too much because MN doesn't have Emission testing or anything.

And I know I've received the answer before from Robert but I can't remember and I can't find the thread... does the X-pipe replace the Cats or the Resonator?

(not trying to thread jack at all, just trying to help more people, including myself, with the X-pipe situation)

It is not illegal. It replaces the resonator. Removing CATS is illegal. Remember you can only expect a 4HP gain.

At the most 4hp, corvettes respond to mods better than CTS's. So probably less for us. Oh well, it will hopefully compensate for when I put big wheels on!
