    i would love to hear a VX with two separate pipes all the way back with glasspacks....

    correct me if im wrong but arent glasspacks only designed for sound and you actually lose some power out of them???

    If you are searching for a mean sound..... look for a lower toned muffler, glass packs are all rasp in my opinion... If you are willing to pay for whatever... here is opinion on a nice set up...

    Dont get rid of your cats, use high flow cats (not for emmisions but they help with the gas smell), have a 2.5 inch pipe run back either to an H set up into the mufler and duals coming out, or put in a X and have dual mufflers on each side, but NOT glasspacks... to raspy. and if you want to have even a little more fun, on the dual pipes, before they enter in the X pipe or H connection, add 2 2.5 inch cut outs with electric cutouts from mccord power plate... they are only like 105 bucks and are very durable. I used to run them on my Formula (Exhaust: Mid length headers, no cats, 2.5 in, to cut out, or when sutout was closed to muffler). Avaiod the rasp, i think you will love your car more with a lower tone.

    Hmmmmmmmm.......Don't really know what I was expecting, but I'm really not that impressed. Doesn't sound bad by any means, but it doesn't sound great.
    Peace.

    Muffler

    I add a 2nd muffler & pipe on the opposite side from the cats,our factory muffler's very big,so my mech just went with smaller mufflers,like half the size of the original one;the sound is amazing & the torque increassed around 30%,i have no technical info about the brand & model,i'll check that with the mech this weekend so you may add the same set up.

    I had my annual emission done saturday last week & passed with excelent results over the machine.
    Dakar was just the begining.

    I think the best set up for our VX's regarding two pipes is adding two smaller mufflers on each side,pipes shouldn't be bigger then 2,25 each & nice tips like those the running on the tahoes,dodge RAMS & ford F-2500
