Opinion on this Xpipe/Resonator hybrid
http://images.magnaflow.com/07techtips/pdfs/16837.pdf
Seems like a good alternative. I'd like to find out if the resonator/xpipe combo is available separately keping the B+B mufflers. |

Re: Opinion on this Xpipe/Resonator hybrid
Interesting. It seems to be a 3" system.

Re: Opinion on this Xpipe/Resonator hybrid
Guys,
OK. Twisted Pipes, a local MF distributor here in northern IL called me back. This system just came on-line in the last 2 days. Its available. Its a complete system from cats back. Its 3" pipe all the way thru including resonator. Incorporates an Xpipe in front of resonator, which is really just another muffler, then 3" out of resonator to mufflers. They have 4" round tips that are rolled. $650. Sounds like a real possibility incorporating both an Xpipe and resonator. I've had MF cat back on my 84 and liked the sound very much. Unfortunately, resonator/x is not available separately. Here's my 84 Xfire with TPIS headers and Magnaflow 2.5" catback. http://s187.photobucket.com/albums/x...fing2006-2.flv Last edited by XfireZ51; 05-22-2008 at 09:47 PM. |

Re: Opinion on this Xpipe/Resonator hybrid
it will be interesting to hear how the resonance is with that system. I wonder if the resonator and mufflers are actually 3" internally, or smaller like B&B?

Re: Opinion on this Xpipe/Resonator hybrid
Aurora,
I was told the Xpipe and resonator are 3" throughout. The only place it necks down is at the manifold/catback junction. There it goes to 2.75". From the .pdf I posted, the driver's side inlet pipe is separate from the resonator assembly. Mine would need to be a ball flange mating to the drivers side collector. |

Re: Opinion on this Xpipe/Resonator hybrid
Interesting... I was just going to ask this very question and here Magnaflow already did it. I already have a Borla system and it looks like there's enough room for an x-pipe after the resonator. Opinions? Maybe x-pipe first and move the resonator back? Would it matter?

Re: Opinion on this Xpipe/Resonator hybrid
dont quote me on this but i believe the s pipe should be between 16-24 inches from the collector if one has headers
