X pipe on your car?

WhiteLightening · 08-24-2017, 03:07 PM

I was wondering if anyone has high flow cats and a x pipe on their v6 yet? If so is there any improvement in sound, exhaust tone, or performance? Thanks!!

Secondary Cat Delete X-pipe j pipes no muffler no resonator sounds amazing..
I have the A8 though in the Manual my setup would def have drone at 70+ cruising speeds.. However in the A8 I dont get barely any drone until 2100+ RPM which is 82+ MPH.

High flow cats I am not made aware of any that are purposefully made for our cars however nothing a muffler shop couldnt figure out for you. I can tell you deleting the secondary cats make a huge diff in sound.

Is deleting the secondary cars illegal?

Dustya · 08-25-2017, 07:37 AM

Technically yes.. Removing them is illegal getting caught without them is not. Also depends on your state No emissions checks here in Florida. You still have primary cats not all cars come with 2 catalytic converters whoever is checking would have to know that.

If you do it and get caught just keep them and have them put back on.

What is the point of the secondary cats??

WhiteLightening · 08-25-2017, 12:13 PM

Well , it's because of this...Government Bull****. Ha! Actually I really don't know. Pollution reduction?", and restrictions on other countries make it so we have to build our cars a certain way to sell them internationally?? Just a hypothesis. On the other hand, they kill our sound!

Hmm. Interesting, I'm going to research this.

Camarolover85 · 08-25-2017, 01:26 PM

I guess it has to do with start up. I'm leaving mine alone.

Alot of cars with double cats like ours have 02 sensors in the secondary cats.. ours do not.. I havent done research on exactly what its doing but my car is far from stock They are just a restriction for me.

Can a performance muffler shop chang out my current cats w/high flow performance cats, at a shop with a hi flow universal cat?

I cut out everything from the 2nd cats back and the did the magnaflow x pipe muffler right where the 2nd cats used to be and 2.5" the rest of the way out and it's amazing! The pop on high rev gear shifts (A8) is just bliss and I know generally you don't get much as for power gains on stuff like that but it must have given me an ok boost because I consistently run about quicker times on my 0-60 and I have done a few pulls against the exact same camaro but they just have a basic axle back and I slightly pull away from them.

Gotta check to make sure they're compatible but solo still has high flow cars and their products are top notch.

Can you put a sound clip of your car dude? Also how bad did that void your warranty ha?!

Utah6thgen · 08-28-2017, 05:06 PM

I have a video up on YouTube but it is with just a GoPro so the sound does not do it justice. Here is the link https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i-nvxNl97gU

It didn't void warranty at all I can't speak for everyone but at my dealer and I know most are that but anything after the last o2 sensor doesn't void any drive train warranty just the warranty on the exhaust system
