I would assume it would sound similar to the FI intimidator, If its a resonated X pipe then it would decrease rasp also(Magnaflow). The mixing of the Exhaust pulses in the X pipe would give your exhaust that stock VQ rumble we all fell in love with, but a lot deeper and louder, rather than the dual angry three cylnder rasp. I love the way mine sounds with Invidia test pipes, If you ever want to hear it I would be glad to meet up.

Yeah Ahmad was telling me about the X-Pipe thing and I really want to do it, my rasp is good and bad sometimes.

Gothchick has the X-pipe that Ethan just posted modified to her HKS. Check with her or look up her posts; don't remember if she posted clips or vids. If I recall correctly, this mod made a big difference.

Edit - Found her post with a pic. It is not the same X-pipe but it is the mod.

Basically you'd have to cut a chunk of your exhaust and weld this x pipe in?

I have never seen an HKS exhaust but is there not a way that you could just buy the x pipe shown above and have a local muffler place weld it to a whole other pipe that you could just swap in?

Hmm.... interesting idea! That way you can always revert back if you don't like it or decide to sell the exhaust.

What is the exact model exhaust Mike D has and where can I buy the resonated X-Pipe shown in the pic above, I always see X-Pipes at the local auto parts stores, are those them or most likely not?
