getting an X-Pipe made - my observations

$

So this week I took my RV6 True Dual exhaust into a fabrication shop to get an X-Pipe made. Just wanted to share with others what I feel is different with the sound (in case others are also thinking about doing the same)

The X-Pipe makes this exhaust a "real deal" dual exhaust.
First thing I noticed is that the tiny little bit of rasp I had is now gone. The exhaust note on the outside seems to be deeper and there is a little bit more drone on the inside.

Here are some pics for your viewing pleasure. I'll try to get a video up soon.

Needless to say I am pretty happy with this modification. It doesn't dramatically change the sound but it does change it for the better.

It's a shame Richie isn't going to be making these exhausts after his last batch.

I spoke to these guys who did my X-Pipe and they are actually working on another TL right now to make their own true dual system that integrates the J-Pipe and catback into one full exhaust. If it ever come to light I'll be sure to stop by and check it out :toocool:
