What X-pipe is this?

_X · 02-20-2021, 12:05 PM

So I had the car on the lift to install the H&R Sway bar and realized the previous owner had installed an x-pipe. Can anyone tell what kind of X-Pipe this is? I would like to try to find sound clips with various test pipes fitted with this x-pipe to see what would sound best when I buy the test pipes.

Front cats are stock but middle section looks to be made. Fabspeed makes something similar but the x portion looks different.

just a modified OEM xpipe. with secondary and resonators chopped off.

Thank you. Is there any power to be gained by going full x pipe?

I am thinking of just bolting some test pipes up to it, unless there is a real benefit to an x pipe. I haven’t found any threads with real comparison between the two options.

give or take a 15% increase with primary cat delete. thats the more restrictive area.
