I've installed a off road x-pipe on my GT. It's running to the stock muffs which I haven't replaced yet. The problem I'm having is some interior resonance when at idle, and a whisp sound once and a while under accelleration. Neither is real bad, but enough to drive me nuts and consider putting my stock H-pipe back on. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif[/img]

So can anyone tell me if this is normal? If not, suggestions for a quick fix? Anyone think that maybe something's not tight? The pipe I got did not come w/ any gaskets, which didn't alarm me since there were none on the stock pipe. I don't know what brand it is, but it was a two piece pipe. The right side contains the cross pipe and then both rear exits, and the second piece is a small piece that bolts from the left stock manifold and runs a couple feet back and attaches before the X. Can anyone I.D. the brand? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/headscratch.gif[/img]

Well, thanks in advance for any help guys. Your suggestions will probably save me some frustration. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif[/img]

Mine from Mak went right in. It was a bit difficult to get the small pipe to line up but once I did everything was a snap.

I bought it from MAK, but in the box were Magnaflow stickers and paperwork.

I have a bassani X-pipe without cats and still using stock mufflers. I have never had a problem at idle nor a whisp sound. Not sure. But I did not have any gaskets and would not expect any either.
