I had a set, install was not bad, some adjustments needed, would help to have an extra set of hands, be prepared to hit something with large hammer if need be,

My sound great. The only problem is getting off the original exhaust pipe. You'll need to cut it getting it out.

I did the conversion last spring. Over all I'm happy with them, but they are a little loud. Installation was a pain mostly due to my dad thinking he can install anything. Took it to a local garage and he finished the install. I did the GT bumper conversion at the same time, so it was easy to fit it out the back.

Its throaty and sounds nice at WOT, but at cruising speeds down the highway its a bit annoying.

Anyone know if the V6 conversion over axle pipes, X-pipe are the same as the GT pipes?

Will this setup fit on a GT?

Yep the drone is a little much sometimes. Having the top down makes it a little worse, but my music is always up.

Well I've been looking at different kits. What do you guys recommend? True duals mid-muffler system or rear muffler system? Or some other kit?

I would go with an Cat back exhaust in my opinion. I did the FRPP Dual exhaust setup with the X-pipe and the Bullitt mufflers. It sounds good and here it wasn't really broken in yet so it sounds a bit deeper now.

I did, install was not bad, hard part was getting the factory mid pipe out. Once that was done it was a breeze. Only issues now is somethings rattling somewhere, every time I think i found the issue I hear it again when driving. When I figure it out I will let you know what to look for when installing. Word of advice make sure you have a powerful sawzall for cutting the y-pipe, my battery powered one couldn't handle it . luckily my dad stopped by the house and ran to the rental store to pick me up a corded one, after that had the pipes cut in 30 seconds. Took me about 4 hours total and that was with the sawzall issues and changing out the rear bumper to GT one, not bad it was sunny and 80 that day in boston so it was fun.

Oh ok awesome! Did you have a lift? I'm away at school so I'm going to try to round up a few buddies that have a couple floor jacks and some stands. How many cuts did you have to make on the factory piping? I guess I should go by a rental place and get one as well becaue I don't know anybody that has a sawzall.

I drove the front up on ramps and put the back side up on jack stands. You have to make 2 cuts on the factory y pipe to connect the new x pipe
