Located after the mid pipes and before the catback, IE's X-pipe replaces the middle section of factory tubing and the sizeable suitcase center resonator. Upgrading this section removes the massive resonator and ultimately frees up the middle of the exhaust system improving flow and exhaust sound.
CROSS-SECTION DESIGN
IE's X-pipe replaces the factory suitcase muffler with straight pipes that retain the center cross-section exhaust path. This design maintains the proper balance of exhaust pulses, increases exhaust gas flow, and produces a tuned exhaust sound without annoying cabin drones or rasp.
X-PIPE SOUND RESULTS
DIAL-IN YOUR EXHAUST
With IE's available X-pipe and Midpipe upgrades, you can replace individual sections of the factory exhaust to dial in the volume and note your preference. Most C7 4.0T platform engine sound is silenced via the factory downpipes, mid pipes, and center resonator. Installing variations of these three parts can deliver a mild to extreme exhaust note without touching the rear mufflers, offering a customizable upgrade path sounding as good as a traditional catback system at an affordable cost.
