I think I want to go with an X-pipe...but have never ran this setup. I am running a Magnaflow street cat-back system. Opinions...suggestions ?

I'm putting some Stainless Works headers on my car. Currently have an S&H stainless Mid pipe. I'll have the mid pipe for sale soon if you're interested. When you head this way I'll help you install it.

X makes 'em raspy and H makes 'em deep, to vastly oversimplify it. I have an OR X on mine, along with no mufflers, and it's loud as hell.

I had trans am..with long tubes and off road Y with 3" exhaust out the back and it was way too raspy so I put a magnaflow system with a cutout. I have had 2v mustangs with H-pipes and really like the sound but from what I have read x-pipes perform better.

Yep, that pretty much covers it. I'll be doing an H and GT500's when the time comes. :)

Here is a decent exhaust clip of my car. The last one I posted sucked. It does have a cat delete on it though, with the heartthrob x pipe and GT500s. With the cats on, the 3" and GT500's, I thought it was still too quiet. Heartthrob has I believe the cheapest 3" kit, all mandrel bent and Made in USA. I am very pleased.

You've confirmed what I was worried about, just ordered the Lethal x-pipe and already have the Pypes catback. Looks like the catback will be for sale soon, I don't want the car too obnoxious. Can SYNC still understand you?

Can SYNC still understand you?It's only loud when you're on the gas hard. The rest of the time its just a nice deep rumble. SYNC works just fine (well as fine as it can anyway).

That seems bearable, I guess I'll see for myself in about a week. What tires do you run at the track? 11.87's a pretty good time, I have similar mods going on, don't know when I'll make it to the track.

I've got some big things in the works coming up so I'm having to pick and choose the things I need/want to do. Christmas is coming up, so some parts will make it on my car soon. :D

And what kind of parts are you thinking? I've got to keep up with the Jones'.

Those runs we're on 295/45-17 MT ET II radials. Stroked88LX on the other forum has them now.
