I am putting the car in tomorrow morning for the rest of the twin 2.5 stainless system into twin rears before Simon fits the new Process West stage 2 cooler and gives it all the once over next Monday. Has anyone got any reports or info on the X Force CAT back systems. Apparently there are two types the one being fitted has the smaller rear and centre mufflers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've been in the US and UK more than I've been home lately and thought it was time to spend some more sheckles on the beasty to keep it up to scratch, although I hardly get time to drive it lately.Great thread. How much louder did you find the smaller mufflers. I'm not overly worried about noise as such, just don't want to end up with a drone. The MANTA system coming off the car has a bit of a bark but the mufflers on it are bigger than what is on the X Force and the X Force is also stainless so the note should be sharper?? Hope its not a droner. Did you have the twin rear tail pipe setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under fast accel they are of course louder.I did not use the twin pipe tips of the x-force, but cut the twin pipes out of the x-force rear muffler and had welded the stock F6 rear tip. It's a reasonably good line-up of the pipes from both sides, and from the rear you wouldn't know the exhaust was modified.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definately has more go (according to my bumometer) and also pings in 4th under hard acceleration. This will be fixed when Simon throws in the new intercooler on monday. You won't be disappionted BUL11E. There is no drone and the cars makes a mean bark when you give it a bootful. The drone is dead and gone I got my exhaust booked in to be fitted on sat and im goin same setup as you hypnodoc but im goin for the more quieter system with the bigger centre and read muffler. keep us posted on how everything goes .
