Question X Pipe VS. Sports Exhaust (MUFFLER)

Hi All!

Quick question.

Seeing what you guys think is better as far as sound and power gains go.

Fabspeed X pipe mufflers or Fabspeed sport exhaust mufflers?

Thank you for looking

I think the cross pipes probably sound and perform better.

Stay away from Fabspeed... Get Europipe 2 if you want power and good sound

I had Fabspeed ver2 in my car for 1 week... I hate it.... I also had the xpipes from 911tune they were ok but you can't compare it with Europipe

That statement is an absolute classic doc lol. Truly. It's even worthy of a signature it is such a beauty.

This I would agree with, and also makes sense. These EP1 and 2 systems definitely deliver on the power and sound fronts exceptionally well. The two you are asking about, I wouldn't use either of them.

If you really wanted an xpipe the protomotive would be the far better option too going by the reviews on 6.

i think this is because of how quiet it was and the version 2 is made to be quiet.


their x pipe is supposed to be amazing, i had one on order before i sold my car...

everyone likes diff things, and turbo cars sound like crap w/ exhaust... i think the x pipe makes it throaty without making the explosive vomit sound at high boost.

No need to fret, I just thought it was funny you being somewhat contradictory with so few words. If you read it you will see what I mean. It's a classic. i.e. think" and then probably"....LOL!

Even worse. Anyway doc....no biggy. Just saw the humour and couldn't resist. You gotta admit it's a classic one liner....esp the way it sounds.

Sorry, don't get it. Are you saying I can't comment unless I've used both products?
I didn't realize there were new forum rules if that's the case.
Op, if you listen to the clips on YouTube, I think the cross sounds better.

Interesting replies in a technical thread..? Guess I'll subscribe to see if I can't "hone" my "humor" skills, which apparently need some honing - as the humor is lost on me as well...

Speed,

What's with the personal shots at members here lately? You having a bad week? You are really becoming more rude and annoying than usual (which is really saying something.)

Everyone here (except you) treats each other with respect. Opinions are great . Personal insults are not.
