ok so i cut my bumper and installed my other gt takeoff today.
gt takoffs 100.00 shiped
xpipe 100.00 shiped
left side pipe and brackets from ford
130.00
install 125.00
so total install 455.00 2 gt mafflers and stainless pipes also i had him install couplings so i can remove the system like a stock gt.

 

that is a very good price!
Who did you get the X-pipe from, and give us the scoop on sound and what it did to performance.

 

the magnaflow 2.5 inch stainless one

So any problems with the install? I too would like to know what your opinion of the sound is, Your wife's and Kids opinion would be appreciated as well.

 

Well? How does it sound? Please post links to sound files if you can!

Also could you take a few pics of the underneath if you get it up on a lift? I would like to see, as well as others probably, how the install went and how it looks.

 

excellent. so this kit would work with any gt axelback system? Hello flowmasters

 

yep if you get the ford pipe and this xpipe once your over the axle who knows

 

Awesome exhaust, afixer.

Any chance you have the part numbers for the "left side pipe and brackets from Ford"??

Also--any hints on how you cut the bumper? Did you make a template from the right side? what tool(s) did you use to cut? And how about painting the area after the cut?

This is on my "gonna happen in the future" list..so any comments will be really helpful (like your pictures have been already!)

 

Hambone - When I did mine I traced a cutout of the right side with some cardboard, cut it out, traced it onto the other side (remember to flip it) and cut it out using a box knife... I did a little touch up with a dremmel just cuz I wanted perfection, but worked great! Several other people have done it since around here and I havent heard any bad results.

 

Thanks for the comments! Wow, a box knife? I didn't imagine it was soft enough for a knife like that. Wonder if an Exacto knife is sturdy enough, with a gentle approach. I have a box knife or two, and access to a Dremmel, so maybe I have the tools after all

I kept thinking "hrm, a hole cutter for a door ****/lock might work" but knew that was a really bad approach

 

here is the pdf of the exhaust also i used a dremil with the wand and a roto zip type bit (under cutting the template by abouy 1/4") then i hung the muffler to check made any adjustments then i smothed it with the drum sander attachment and touched it up with my touch up paint

 

Thanks for all the info and the great PDF! That will be really helpful. I thought the Dremel might be handy for this task!

 

Yes, Thanks here also-definitely something to consider. Looks great!!

 

DEFINATLY on my to do list, how does it sound?? A lot of people with the GT takeoffs, but haven't heard a Xpipe yet..!

 

We're dying to hear your review

 

ok i have a vid with sound it wont let me post ill email if anyone wants it

SOUNDS F-IN AWESOME! I wonder how'd it'd sound with some flowmasters instead of the GT takeoffs?

But wow that sounds incredible!!!!!

 

That sounds really good. Very broad

How high were you revving it btw?

 

just quick revs the rev limiter still cuts out at about 5000 so if you just sit and try to rev it cuts under load its a diferant story
