Default X Pipe or ORY Pipe?

Okay so first off let me apologize for being another person with an exhaust question.

I am torn between an X pipe and ORY Pipe.

I have LT headers (not installed yet) and a SLP LM 1.

I have heard the LT's with a ORY pipe and LM1 before and it is really loud (which I kind of like)

But I have also thought of getting a X pipe and dumping it before my axle.

I am torn between both.

ORY pipe is like $149 and a X pipe is around $400.


What would you guys do?
Which will have better performance gains?

Will the X pipe dumped before my axle be nice and loud?

Thank you!

No contest!!! X pipe dumped all day!!!

Will sound so much better than your LM1. I Have had LM1, and Magnaflow, and none of them compare to the sound of duals dumped..

I say ory. I've heard lots of dumped duals on these cars and don't think they sound that great and look like poop with clearance problems. I'm not a fan of the LM1 though with an ory.

Here is a comparison of ORY and X-Pipe. The car was stock except for a lid at the time.


Here it is with TSP 1-7/8 LT, TSP stainless ORY and the TSP Rumbler catback

Here it is later that night after removing the ORY and rumbler and installing the TSP true duals x-pipe setup

Not trying to thread highjack, but any dual options with it exiting out the rear as that's a must for my state.

Not sure where you're at in Michigan, but if you wanna hear my setup i'd be happy to show you...Pacesetter long tubes, ORY, and LM1's. Honestly I don't care for it, but it came with the car lol. Very loud (sounds great at WOT and idle) but very raspy at certain rpm's as well

X Pipe all the way. I love mine. Wish I could keep it when I go turbo, but an open downpipe should sound good too

I had long tubes, ory, and LM1 for a few days after the headers where installed. on first start up I ordered a magnaflow bullet immediatly. sounded terrible. now Its tolerable, but it was just a temporary bandaid until true duals.
