you will be happy with just the muffler swap. i think the aeros sound best like that. once you take out the rear 2 cats that kinda start to sound like ass and are really loud.

i already have the rear cats removed and an x-pipe. i dont want it to sound horrible. I like the way Ctrlravens car sounds.

I agree with impalaslayer that's why I'm going with the 40 series or either super 40 flows!

Thanks and yes I do have an H-pipe. I've never really liked the sound that X-pipe causes at mid to high end rpm range especially with straight-thru design mufflers.

Lol I just like the way the flows sound but are they a bad muffler?

They do flow more than a stock muffler but many just to increase the sound. If you're going to do something might as go with a muffler that increases sound and performance.

Yea I agree that the Aero's look beautiful as well as have the performance edge but I see headers in my future and don't want the car to sound way to loud!

Go with a resonated Aero Turbine muffler, AT2525XL.

What are the different gains/losses between x and h pipe. I thought they were similar.

H-pipe flows well at low end and creates good sound at low end rpm range.
X-pipe flows better than H-pipe at mid and high end range but can sound raspy at high end.
Being NA the power difference would only be seen on a dyno and it's maybe 2-3hp difference between the two and also depending on the rest of the exhaust system so for now it's mainly a sound preference as to which one to get. Once you get boosted and start trying to get squeeze out every bit of hp then X-pipe is a wise choice.

x-pipes (when constructed properly) always outperform H-pipes or no crossover at all
but typically what it boils down to is sound preferance, each do their own thing

Hey Chris be sure to swap your mid pipes while your at it 2.5" (Mach I/Cobra).

I was waiting for you to grace the thread with your wise exhaust knowledge. lol
