No, no buzzing or anything. It's got a great sound.

Does anyone have this setup in resonated form?

Would be cool if he incorporated some TiCON resonators.

Wouldnt be inexpensive, but this is already a premium product.

We offer it both ways, and in standard configuration as well.

Non-res forward X
Resonated forward X

Non-res standard X
Resonated standard X

$2800 for non-res / $3000 for resonated

The material is EXPENSIVE. And of course the labor at this level takes time. Not a cheap part by any means, but I guarantee you'll be blown away by the quality, weight and sound. There's nothing else like it. Reach out directly if you have any questions about your build and I'm happy to help.

Haven't updated this thread in a while but figured I'd let anyone who isn't aware know that we've got 15+ x pipes out there now and they're available at www.sub2speedhouse.com

We've got both standard and forward x configurations
Unresonated, dual resonated, or even quad.
TiCon titanium, replacement aluminum center brace, OEM ball socket connections and the absolute lightest on the market. Rear section will be coming out soon to complete the package, and we expect to shave the weight of the Akra rear in half while maintaining a civilized but badass note. More on that soon!

That's relevant to my interests. I've been wanting a properly cool space-age-materials rear section to replace my very (12 years!) old, probably broken MPE and go back to a stock xpipe without any overall weight penalty, right now I don't have a lot of great options because I'm not an Akra fan

This thread has me sold, Just ordered my dual res forward x. Cant wait to hear it with my valved Titanium Turner muffler! The craftsmanship and attention to detail in the photos looks amazing.

Just when i thought no one was making cool stuff for these cars anymore i stumble onto this beauty!

Hello! By chance would you be able to provide sound clips?

I can confirm it sounds great, gave the Akra more bark, more character. No more flat sound. Also no drone at highway speeds and the Akra muffler does a great job at keeping overall volume down. I believe my mid-pipe was under 15lbs all said and done.
Sounds clips by chance?

I just had Nolan build me a forward X pipe as he moved to Austin, loading a sound clip next - catless / resonated paired with my TiTek titanium rear section


Edited - trying to upload video but not letting me
