Magnaflow tru-x pipe or resonated x-pipe - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I've already done the Magnaflow 16582 comp axle back. I left the h-pipe and the resonators on my ls3 convertible. I love the sound. I also love the decal popping but would like to reduce it just a little. What will either of these do for me. Thanks!!

The resonated will x-pipe will take a little bit of the edge off. It will also slightly muffle the sound...but not alot. The Tru-X will probably increase the sound but you'll hear the decel popping a little more as well.

The resonated x-pipe is what Magnaflow uses on there 2.5" Comp cat's-back system. That's the main reason why I chose it over the Tru-x.

I didn't remove the oem resonators like you did. I was curious if another resonator would be overkill. I liked the sound of the YouTube of the ls3 that did the 16582 before and after the x-pipe. I'll have to listen to yours again.

I decided on the tru-x pipe after tons of research on numerous forums and all I can say is .... WOW!!!!!
