Has anyone here done this?

[jomull55]

I have a 2001 Gt and it is bone stock and i wanted to do something quick before i have to put it away for winter. so if i order an o/r x pipe and put it on with the stock catback how will that sound? chitty or better than not being able to hear it at all? i plan on gettin a cat back after winter i just wanted to do this now since an o/r x is cheap. thanks for any replies or sound clips

it will deff be louder than it was. My friend had a cobra with o/r x and stock catback and it sounded pretty good.

i know it will be significantly louder than it was, but i was just wondering about the tone. and i cant seem to find any decent sound clips

IMO, even sound clips don't do an exaust note justice. The only way you're gong to know for sure is to hear it in person. And unless you know someone with the same set up, I'm afraid you're going to have to be the ginny pig my friend.

thats what i figured, i was just looking for some insight or ideas of how it will sound.

Louder, with a higher pitch in the upper ranges and less baritone at idle and cruise would be typical of most O/R X-pipes. I doubt you'll be disappointed.

but no one on stangnet has done this that you know of?

I have, and in my opinion it sounds pretty good.

It's not super loud, but you definatly can tell a difference. When you get on it, it opens up quite a bit.

Definatly go for it, I highly doubt you will be dissapointed.

I have headers and o/r h-pipe on w/ the stock catback... Its too quite. I can post a clip if you want...

you will notice a difference in sound but why not just wait till the spring and do the whole thing at once if you plan on getting a catback next spring? that way you only have one oppertunity to make new exhaust leaks

I had an o/r prochamber with the stock catback for a long time actually and it sounded ok, but the piece of crap was rusting itself into oblivion and the stink was getting unbearable

stock catback with o/r x pipe sounds very good. Personal experience and i enjoyed the way it sounded

 

[jomull55]

well, i did it. and if it wasn't for that one stupid bolt on the passenger side i would have had it done in about 45 minutes. but i am not dissapointed. but its not super loud. seems to get a little bit louder as i drive it more for some reason .... but i think its a pretty good upgrade for 180 dollars. the best part in doing the install was i had a lift

Sweet, glad it turned out allright.

Those bolts can be a royal PITA to get at if they are on there good.
