Pypes offroad X - Review

[lowflyn]

Just wanted to give a quick review for ppl on these.
I bought the V6 Mustang offroad X pipe, supposed to be a bolt-in process.
Went to my exhaust shop this morning to have them do it since my exhaust is fully welded. We cut the old off, bolted this one up and realized the front 02 sensors were off by about 5 inches in length and on the wrong side of the pipe. If we would have mounted them there, there was a good chance for something ripping them off.
Since I already have the rear 02 sensors cut off in the computer we went ahead and plugged those up and plugged the fronts while we were at it. We then cut and welded in new 02 bungs in the proper places.
Sounds like we should be through eh? nope...
Upon getting it all bolted in place, we noticed it hung a good inch below my subframe connectors. This wasn't going to cut it since I am lowered and have enough problems scraping. So..using the torch we heated the pipes and bent them the direction they were supposed to be. Then we realized the transmission linkage was also preventing the pipe on the driver side from being put in it's proper place. We then modified both the bracket and the piping to solve this problem.

After all that work, got it welded in place and we're good to go. I love the idle, it's the sound I've been looking for for 4 years. Over about 3k it gets quite raspy, but it's not like I'm going to cruise around over 3k.

Overall, I'm quite happy with it, just wish it would have bolted up as it was supposed to.

When it stops raining and the cold front goes away I'll try to get ahold of a decent camera for a vid or two.

Listen to Kyle's car, those are the pipes he has as well...only difference is the mufflers

As for the installtion, kyle's were just bolt ins. No mods needed. Sounds like you received a monday morning special.

[SpectorV]

nice, thats one main reason I` hate mods or take forever on them cuz there are always issues lol.

[Kyle]

yeah the o2 sensors were off, but its only the secondaries, the primaries hook up fine. just turn it off in the tuner and youre straight.


i wanna hear yours, if it sounds better than mine, i am changing my mufflers

Damn sorry to hear that man im glad I just didnt try to bolt them on The website said direct bolt on no modifications needed.....WTF

[lowflyn]

Like I said, I'll try and get a good vid of it sometime. I'm loving it though, and my neighbor hates me now lol.

[Kyle]

what kinda mufflers you runnin?

I've got Pypes on both my Impala SS and 442, and love them. both are the X pipes and the quality of the welds and things are top notch.

Been a fan of them for a while. Also, if you wait and buy them at shows, they usually are a bit cheaper, and there is no shipping charge in case anyone is interested.

Basically a super turbo muffler.

At 3k it kinda hits you in the face going raspy, but it calms back down over that.
