what is my x pipe similar with?

[f32458]

I have the iPE X pipe with 200 cell cats. I am curious what is the most closest setup I have compare with others. Is my setup consider as race?

Different companies will use Race to mean different things but according to the picture you put up it will be close to the Race set up of that X Pipe. You have 200 cell cats and no resonators and that X Pipe looks like it has no cats but a set of resonators.

this ipe x pipe + ipe axle back = stage 2 tune
stock x pipe + ipe axle back = stage 1 tune

I had this x pipe installed with stock mufflers and I found it to be too raspy.

Yes I have a new iPE axle back sitting in my garage. I am deciding to sell it or keep it. Maybe I can buy a different x pipe or TP to gain more hp/tq. I thought of switching to MPE or Akra slip on. But I think the gain alone from axle back exhausts would be similar. stock x pipe + iPE axle back, this is the setup I am thinking to give it a shot.

previous setup:

Akra evo, beautiful exhaust, nice gain but I had vibration and droned badly in cabin
iPE F1 X pipe + iPE axle back, lost torque but it sounded sooooooo CRAZY
iPE (this one) + iPE axle back, torque improved but still pretty loud when open
iPE (this one) + stock axle back, too raspy didn't like it.

Yes that is correct in terms of tuning.

I would imagine your current set up is very raspy!
