Hey fellas. I am doing a xpipe install on my 14 SRT and had a few questions. Anyone have pics on what theirs looks like for install reasons...
Also is there any loss of power (back pressure) or what not
Any cabin drone that is horrible or anything
Any help would be great because it's getting installed tomorrow
My guy is building the xpipe and welding it at his shop. Just want to make sure I'm making the right move. Current exhaust I have right now is the atak.
Thanks boys and merry Christmas
If your going to chop that suitcase muffler and replace it with a straight flow x pipe it's going to be louddddd. I had that set up before I got the longtube headers installed(still sounds the same just more rumble)Yes you will lose some low end torque but gain a little top end. Cabin drone I don't care personally cause it just sounds nasty lol but after 60 or 70 it can get a little annoying if your going on a long trip. I would also use a 2.5 inch piping not 3inch to get some pressure from the xpipe.
I always wondered what positive benefits of having that suitcase muffler were. Thanks for providing insight on this as I don't recall anyone actually attesting to this specifically.
Its not that loud. Only advice i can give is to make sure to leave enough flow through the X. I think it sounds like the gt haus amd everyone thought i had the gt haus till i admitted to not having it.
I had this setup although I had resonators with the X-pipe. I've had just the ATAK, the ATAK + X-pipe with resonators, and the GTHaus. According to my butt dyno the Jeep made the most power with my custom setup. IMHO I wouldn't run it without resonators. It was loud enough but not obnoxious in the cabin. It also appeared to have the perfect amount of back pressure.
well after having the work done to the exhuast for the xpipe i have to say that its badass!!! haha love the sound... i am with scott, it truely does sound like the GT Haus... no drone in the cab and man does the thing screan at WOT. all in all... for the money spent to do this.... well worth it!
ok, really close to pulling the trigger.....can't decide between x-pipe using 2.5 or 3?.....is anyone throwing codes with either of these set ups? any idea of how much performance will be affected one vs. the other?
I'm with Scott. No codes and no power loss. At first I thought I lost a little something from a dig but after doin it a few times. Was way wrong haha. 3" as well
I'm hoping I don't sound like an idiot, but is the x-pipe reversible? If i go with it and it is too loud can i go back to just the stock setup without the x-pipe?
DOM I know this is old. But are you still running this set-up.. Atak with custom X-pipe? If so how is it doing for you.. Am trying to avoid spending $3,700 on gthaus. Do you have any videos of this..
Yo bud yes I still am running that set up. Same reason why you just mentioned. Sound is awesome and there is no drone what so ever. Loud aggressive when opening her up but normal for normal driving. You will love it
I did it yesterday 3", no resonators.. At first I kept the flaps but u can hear them moving not cool so this morning I got them removed n it's greeeeeeaaaatttt...
I got the same system installed today as well. Sounds great! Did anyone notice a loss of power or gears shifting quicker while in normal drive mode? I have a 15 SRT.
so x-pipe is using 3'' how about the pipe? do you guys just swap the x-pipe from the stock cat? or customize a brand new mid pipe? hopefully you guys can show me a picture so that i can take a closer look
Back in December, I installed the same x-pipe borla system and it is mean but way to loud during long trips. The resonators you bought, do they dampen the sound to much or does it still sound aggressive during a cold start and on the highway. Thanks.
