ROUSH Axlebacks with Borla X-Pipe?

I got an awesome price on a Borla X-Pipe this afternoon, so I picked it up without much thought...
I already have ROUSH Axlebacks on my 2011 GT, so I wonder if the Borla x-pipe will make a good combination?

Big gains? Improved sound? Any problems with this setup?

Good deal! It's my understanding an x pipe can net around 15 hp and will potentially take some of the raspiness out of the Roush's giving them a deeper growl. I have a deal in the works for a FRPP xpipe from a fellow TMS'r that I'm going to add to mine. Post some video up when you get yours on.

Xpipe will definitely eliminate some of the raspiness and add some bass it will also reduce popping on rapid deceleration, at least it did on mine. As for the hp gain I don't know.

Smoother, a bit quieter, less raspy and less popping on deceleration with an X-pipe. Mine is a 3 inch Pypes.


I love them.

They're so clean in the 2nd video lol. That camera angle caught the sound perfectly! I'm really looking forward to that xpipe now!
