pics are coming as soon as my x-pipe gets put in which will be tommorrow.
These pics are not of my car but of ls1tech member kev98ta
the mufflers are tucked up at the bumper. Just like his. I actually printed pics of kev98ta exhaust and said i want it just like this. I guess he couldnt see the x in there.
only difference in mine and kev98ta's exhaust is the tips and the fact he has a crossover x pipe. I listened to the audio clip of his trans am and was sold on the borla's.

I'm going to be going to this exhaust shop that's supposed to be real good, and has a mandrel bend machine. It's like an hour from Chicago, but I want the "best"
I hope it comes out good, and he is as good as he says he is. I've seen his website, and videos of some jobs. They look real good.

I personally like the sound of no crossover the best.. And as far as feeling a differnce I felt none what so ever going to an h pipe.. Also tests have been done the gain on the dyno is minimum up top where it matters

Here are 2 videos I just took. They are not the greatest quality due to wind, but you get the basic idea. I work and live at a storage facility so thats where the video was shot incase anyone is wondering. To me the exhaust sounds sloppy, I dont know how else to describe it. Im hoping that by putting in a crossover it will make it more of a refined tone.
video1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhhhPmgHS4w
video2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mmo4jzbkxg
video added after the crossover x-pipe was put in.
Here are the videos of the the car after the X-pipe was put in. I love the sound it has now. Not the farm truck any more. The 2nd one is my favorite. Its the muscle/exotic (thats what I would describe it as) sound that I was after. Now I cant wait to hear it with the heads and cam but thats a long time from now. For now I will just listen to the sound of stock internals

Well I was suppose to get a call today to tell me when to bring the car back to get the crossover added but of course I didnt recieve a call. Maybe It will get added sometime before the end of the week. Damn Im so impatient.

Thanks Mumbles. I actually like the sound at idle and low RPM's but its just not what I want overall.

im curious as to if the x-pipe makes a bunch of difference. i had the same problem you had with my s10 when i did the ls1 swap. my exhaust guy didnt put in the X like i had asked, then he quit his job 3 days after so it never did get added. i added extra mufflers to take care of the farm truck sound but it was still somewhat there. im very curious to hear your clips after th X-pipe install. otherwise, i like the sound of those borlas. sounded like my GTO!

On my 98 WS6 had a shop do the same thing.. i wanted x they gave me straight pipe..annoying.
Seems that guy does very very good work! everything looks in place took the time to make sure everything was hung right and bent.
Just my opinion...but i don't like the muffler before the tips.. it looks like those fart cans.. maybe if it were bullet mufflers that blended right behind the tip or somthing but the mufflers stick out and look weird...JUST MY OPINION... other than that i think that exhaust is very bad ***!
yea get that X and get us some more vids!
