Suggestions for catless x-pipe to go with OEM exhaust mod.
I'm looking at catless x pipes to install to go with my OEM exhaust mod by EAS. I'm looking for something that is 100% reversible to pass smog, and so far I've only found the Macht Schnell Race x-pipe. Does anyone have feedback on how MS x-pipe sounds with an OEM mod or have any better suggestions?

I had the 4 pipe mod with test pipes. Loved it. But, to be honest, I wish I didn't chop up my OEM x pipe for test pipes. Unless you live in a state without emissions testing of course. I had to purchase an extra OEM x pipe just for inspection. If you can swing it, buy an aftermarket x pipe.

I love how my OEM exhaust mod sounds, it really crisp and smooth. What I don't want after the cat delete is lots of rasp. I want the same crisp and smooth sound.

Exhaust mod with any sort of xpipe modifications sounds way too loud AND unrefined IMHO

Dinan, Borla, or Topspeed quad resonated x pipes. Topspeed would be the most affordable and Dinan is the rarest. I believe the Topspeed resonators are placed closer to the headers and are smaller.

I've been researching this a lot... some say it's too loud, but I haven't heard proof they have had it or have it.... so could be speculative on their part. I have read a whole lot of people who have the OEM mod with test pipes that love it.. I am going to give it a try and see.

i have the Macht Schnell x pipe with the OEM mod (not sure of the version) but it sounds great at WOT and low at cruising speed (while on flat surfaces). Its more of a deep sound at cruising speeds but once it revs up it becomes intense and high pitched. All my friends love it but if you're older and want to keep a low profile at times it may not be for you (maybe a valved system would be better).

This is my favorite video to share on this topic, it does a great job illustrating the rasp people talk about. The high pitch note of the white car sounds so much better than the low bassy drone of the black car IMO.

2 pipe is marginally quieter than ACM. I'm sure it would sound similar. Go for it.

What's the deal? Rogue sells non-resonated TPs for $250. Hard to beat.

Sorry "deal" as in cheaper than what I could find, but good to know about non resonated... any key differences between the two? sound is better with resonated and how can I find those sound clips vs Turner or Rougue?
