Default Replaced my resonator with an x-pipe (Non Vette Warning)

Thought some of you might be interested. It's all B&B, but I used to have the resonator. Got rid of that for the x-pipe.

Much louder, much nicer IMO. Don't think my family or neighbours like it though LOL.

Video is missing some bass, but you get the idea

Sounds nice. Don't get booked by the local constabulary for noise.

Thanks. Yeah, gotta keep it quiet around the cops. Although I do believe it is street legal. My front plate is on the dash too... So far all the cops I've seen have been cool about it. No one's bothered to pull me over or anything. My car's a garage queen though. Don't know how much longer I can drive it. Roads seem to be getting salted

Sounds good jon. I always heard the X pipe eliminates some on the burble and popping on decel, do you notice that? I personnaly LOVE the pop and burble, so I decided not to do the X pipe. Did it have the stock H pipe originally like the vettes have before you put the X?

The pop and burble is still there. You can actually hear it in the video if you turn it up.

The car comes stock with a resonator. It is a 1 piece exhaust (2.5" pipes). 2 months or so ago I bought the B&B catback (3.5" pipes) with resonator from Southern Car Parts. (very good purchase experience).

I thought the resonator wasn't loud enough. It had lots of bass, but at high rpms not enough roar. I had the pop and burble with this setup too (none with the stock).

I just put the x-pipe in Wednesday. The car still has the bass, but also much more roar on the high end. The pop and burble hasn't changed. If anything, it might have gotten louder.

And thanks

Great choice for a manly exhaust. The B&B system truly makes the LS6 sound as it should.
