how hard is that xpipe to install NJ3, I have the supremes on, and they are just a little louder than stock, but look awesome, I think the xpipe will make the difference most need in the sound. NO drone is awesome. Thanks

It's not hard just a pita while laying on your back and your car on ramps and jack stands. Your H-pipe has to be cut to install the X-pipe. So if I would recommend removal of the H-pipe to make the cuts. I replaced my X-pipe with a factory H-pipe yesterday and the entire switch took less than an hour. It took half a day to cut my old pipe and install the X while it was on the car.

The X-pipe gives the Supreme's/GTA's a smoother sound imo.

Which axle-back mufflers are straight-through?

Anyone know if the GT-H has the Ford shorty headers in addition to the X-Pipe? Are the mid-pipes the same as what is found on the GT? Anyone have a header/H or X pipe setup with the GTA's, and if so how is that combo?

Metroplex,
The M-5230-GT5's are the straight-thru(stingers)type.
The M-5230-GTA's are the oval,can type mufflers.
delz05,
From what I've been able to find out ,the GT-H has no shorty headers, same exhaust as GT's except the X-pipe in place of the H-pipe & the GTA mufflers instead of stock mufflers. And no headers here, so can't comment on sound w/headers.

I wonder how these GTa's would sound with an O/R H or X pipe?
