i would search youtube.. not going to be 100% accurate on sound but its a nice place to start on what you want and getting an idea of how others sound.

At least this didnt go in the tech section. O-pipe for the win.

He just wants some opinions on his exhaust he doesn't want to max out his stock horsepower capability, only forged internals with o-pipes you know this!

I don't think everyone is looking at the big picture.

When I first bought my car, I put a C&L Racer, offroad H, pullies, Flowmaster's, and delete plates. Car made 306/322.

Same dyno, temp within 2 degrees, same correction factor, changed to an offroad X, car made 317/339. Of course there were a few adjustments made to accomodate the difference in air flow with the X.

I have always had good luck with the X's making more torque and power on all my car's.

H pipes sound better with chambered mufflers, x pipes sound better with straight through design mufflers. I have an h pipe with Corsas and well it has alot of trumpeting/popping. I will be switching to longtubes and an x pipe in the very near future.

humidity/air pressure? Was that on the same day? back to back? Otherwise I wouldn't trust those numbers 100%, but I'm sure you're right about more power, just the amount that seems a bit high. Not trying to knock what you said. Hell, if that's true then I'll be switching... lol, seriously..

I have the prochamber and love it. Not loud at all when cruising, but when I get on it, it can get up there. Little to no drone either, and I'm catless and have the Saleen magnaflow mufflers/exhaust.

Mine pops a lot as well but I never understood what people mean by trumpeting. Could someone clarify?

Also, jewc75, please post a video of when you get that X pipe on. I've been wondering if I should get an X pipe.
