The supersprint cats have a O2 Sensor entrance... we just had to extend the sensors about 6 feet.

Saw that, it sounds crazy, might be a bit too loud, attracts a lot of attention, especially from the police. congrats on the new exhaust.

Wonder what it would sound like with the SuperSprint resonated xpipe. I don't think I could daily drive it with it that loud.

Congradulations on your new setup, I've been enjoying my SS Xpipe since March and its fantastic when coupled with the Kleemann catalytics.

I have the SS xpipe in there. This is my feedback after several days :

The car cold starts VERY loud but within a minute it goes back down to normal idle and almost sounds stock. The car can be driven quietly but that is much easier on the highway. On stop and go's it definitely is more difficult to keep the sound decibles down. At 1/4 throttle the car is very loud, at 1/2 throttle the car is extremely loud, and at full throttle I think I'm going to go deaf!(think motorcycle full throttle)

I'm considering throwing back in the stock resonator.

To be honest I'm a little surprised at how loud this system can get. I've heard Kleemann cars with Kleemann headers and Kleemann cats and it isn't nearly as loud. My guess is the SS headers are more flee flowing and also the Kleemann car I heard still had its stock resonator.

Yeah I knew you had the SS xpipe, but it looked like they had a pipe just like it on their site with a resonator/square box similar to the stock one. That is what I was talking about.
