Anyone ever tried Stright pipes on there SHO?

[Jordan]

Angles and bends are identical throughout the motor and manifold  ;D
Dual 4" on a taurus?
Has anyone done an h pipe? Wondering because sound is different between h pipe,x pipe, and straights

Angles and bends through heads and manifolds yes, but turbo exhaust housings are different after as well as the downpipes and the bends they take.

As far as H pipe I don't think there is a time where an h pipe is going to out perform an x pipe. Might sound different, but that's kind of old school v8 stuff compared to today. He just wants dual 4" tips not full 4" dual straight piping. That just wouldn't fit under the car! Ha! I tried fitting 3" down in there and without sacrificing major clearance that isn't even possible. Best to just match the downpipe size to the exhaust piping size like he is doing at 2.5"

Because of the bootsted nature,  any level of widening as long as it is done right helps spin-up and response of the turbos.  4" MIGHT be a bit much with the stokc snails but i defeer to those who have replaced their turbos for more accurate testimony..

as to sound.. ugh bigger pipes for SHO's == droney blatty awfullness... but my exhaust noise preferences are narrow.

I plan to be one and done with the exhaust.  It would be 2.5" turbo back, an xpipe, all stainless with the tips being quad 4" tips.  I will have to cut the plastic to get those tips on there. 

Thats my idea anyway!  I already have 4" tips.  The rear is so round and wide, I think those massive quad 4" tips in the pic above look fitting and I dare say would look even better on my SHO's rear end

There is good reason behind X pipes. Search Youtube. Plenty of "science"

Thank you guys for the input.  I will be going with an xpipe!

Thought I might add this. This is full 2.5" with an x pipe. So it's what you should expect it to look like in the end. This is with pie cuts though.

Jordan that looks perfect!  All the uneccessary parts removed.  Its simple and fully functional!  I love it!

 

[Jordan]

Thank you. My local guy does great work.

 

[802SHO]

Yes he does!  The shop I'm going to is really good too.  I've had some work done before on a different vehicle and was really happy.  I'll make sure to do a before and after as well as cold starts.  And I'll be honest....I like some drone

 

[Jordan]

For sure I am curious how it sounds. I am not too far off and I know I am loud, but it also is bassy at times from the resonators. Looking forward to hearing it!

Looks good Jordan, are there any sound clips that I overlooked? This thread is hitting home today, failed inspection for straight pipe on my truck yesterday...at the same place I’ve been taking it for years. You think he would have mentioned he would have to fail me this year BEFOREHAND!

Jesus Andrew you are an animal that thing is gonna loud lol. But on the other hand I’m curious to hear it. If you can fit the 4inch dual tips I think they would look great. I used to love the quad tip look on my Acura TL type s.

I've tried this, it is loud and actually not that bad. The only bad thing is the drone you will have inside the cabin with the free-flowing system.

If you were interested in a custom setup I would do straight pipes from the down-pipe back and use some a high-flow resonator and chambered mufflers to kill drone. Kind of like the MDesign exhaust system that is currently for sale, though as it sits it is the same thing as practically a straight exhaust since all the components are high flowing. Throw on some chambered mufflers and I believe you could have something nice and unique.

For lack of better words...what a dink!  So does it fail...visually only?  If so that was a huge lame move on his part.  After going there so much for so long you must have looked at him like, "C'mon man stop joking around!"

I honestly asked him if he was serious, thinking he was messing with me. It’s visual inspection only. I have a stock muffler that had some pieces fall out and modified to 4” in & out, so I’ll buck up and throw it on. The law here clearly states you have to have a muffler, it’s just rarely enforced. Depending on where you are of course. He was just doing his job, but could of just warned me to get straight or go on down the road.

I have a friend that turns a blind eye to my setup.  No one is ever going to get down on the ground and look at your exhaust....I mean really.  My muffler and catless downpipes fail already but its not in peoples faces.  Taking a picture isnt required for inspection and theres no codes when he plugs in his DMV tool.  Its all visual.  I get its the law but....we all know how frivelous the laws are/can get. 

Window tint is another law that I also disregard.  How it even became a law is beyond me.  I love how it changes magically from state to state...and law enforcement here also uses it.  DEA love it and some marked and unmarked cruisers.  At least here in VT they recently passed a new law...its still illegal on the front windows..but you can still pass an inspection with it on.  Mixed messages there..it has never been strictly enforced is another..lol!  Dumb laws
