***Fabspeed x-pipe (non res)***

ericjay56 · 09-28-2011, 08:07 PM

I put on the x-pipe today but it wasn't the sound I was quite looking for. Would Fabspeed allow me to return the part or should I start looking to sell? Ill let it go for $580. It's brand spanking new, wasn't even on the car for more than 24 hours...Also have the aFe stage II intake, which was also not even on the car for 24 hours. I'll let that go for $400 as well. Pictures to come if anyone posts or PMs. *LOCAL PICK UP ONLY-LOCATED IN PHILLY REGION*

You can try, but my bet is that you are shit out of luck. It is now a used piece and they can't sell it any other way. Good luck. You should have negotiated this beforehand (if such a deal is even possible) .

what did you not like about the sound? was there rasp/drone?

Also curiosu was this with a stock rear muffler? I was thinking of doing this but wondering what you did not like?

probably so raspy without a resonator. why buy and intake and an xpipe and sell them the day after. think before you purchase man

ericjay56 · 10-11-2011, 01:55 PM

The car was raspier than a fog horn on a train. Some people fell in love with it, others hated it, like myself. I don't have the stock muffler though, I have a meisterschaft gt. Car was about 120db at 7000 rpms, just to give an idea. Surprisingly, they took the x-pipe though. Left the intake in though, loved the sound of it

it might just be me but I feel like the gear pulls have gotten better with it in. Who knows

ericjay56 · 10-11-2011, 01:56 PM

Also, no drone surprisingly. Sounded great under 3000 rpms but then it would just whine like a mother@#$%^& after

fabspeed took back the xpipe?

ericjay56 · 10-11-2011, 04:33 PM
