Would BBK short tubes and borla atak A/B give me the loud deep throaty roar I'm looking for?

Here is what my setup sounds like: (I have BBK short tube headers, GT H pipe, and Magnaflow Street Series axel backs.)

Not sure if it's audible but the deep tone is so much more predominant and there is a larger "gurgling" in the exhaust...not a V8 by any means but it's 3X more burly than before.

Sorry for the poor sound quality I'll upload a higher sound and video when I get a chance.

GT mid pipe is definitely something I have looked into. But I have read a couple threads where people had a bad experience with em - loss of down low torque (bigger pipe size?), weird sounding exhaust note at WOT and such.

How do you like it on your setup?

So I finally went to a exhaust shop today. I had that giant capsules just after the maifold are resonators, in fact they are cats lol whoops.

They removed my stock resonators, and put a pipe there. I asked him about the x and h pipe, and he said your stock mid pipe is basically doing the job of both - since it's a cross between two. Going with anything different would just be waste of $$.

Aite by standing behind the car, the start up feels nice and sort of throaty. But is it louder than before? I can't say that - maybe because I've gotten used to the sound of my gt500 mufflers? However, one guy was it sounds pretty sick - much like a v8. And the other one was like the exhaust note is Purdy good for a sick.

-from inside the car while driving, I don't notice anything louder different from before. Same pitched sound. Maybe it's me but I wonder why the hell on earth did ford even put those tiny resonators to begin with?!

Im glad it worked out for you :thumb:

 

Oldish post but was wondering does anyone know if the cut and clamp pipe is 2.5 inch in diameter or is it like 2.25 stock

Stock 2.25, slides over the pipes behind the resonators and fits the clamps going to the over the axle pipes.

That's stink all my exuast is gonna be 2.5 but that.. Idk mhmm

I would think before you do that. You're creating a bottleneck in your exhaust which will not help. Going from 2.25 to 2.5 overaxles. Especially if you have aftermarket headers, going from the large headers down to the small mid pipe and then back out the large over axles.

For the price i'd almost just have an exhaust shop remove the resonators... that's basically all it looks like the FRPP x-pipe does since it doesnt increase in size. The resonators are tiny as well, i imagine there will still be some gains in chopping them out, just dont expect anything huge.

 

The FRPP X replaces the factory h/x hybrid, it bolts up behind the factory resonators keeping them in place.

 

Oh, so it literally does nothing then...

 

Just a different sound than stock.

The BBK hiflow mid pipe is a cut and clamp type. Just don't know if they sell x pipe only portion. I went to this route and also added the dynomax cat back pipes, cut the 2.25" transition section and patch it with a 10" long 2.5"D pipe. I think there is an available 2.5" cut and clamp pro-chamber but that thing is expensive. Here are the pics:

 

Interesting I might have to buy some 2.5 pipes and get a shop to make me an h pipe.
