Solo Mach XL with J-Pipes cat-back
Since I just had the Solo Hi Flow Cats installed this past Friday, I started to look at cat-backs to complete my exhaust system overhaul....decided to go with Solo for this too. Just ordered the Mach XL with J-Pipes.
Anyone else go with this system? |

ive always wondered the purpose of J Pipes.....I have seen them on imports for sound...would this be the same case with our vehicles?

I love my Solo high flow cats and I think the sound and power is great. Quiet when cruising and a nice sound when on it. I would go with the Solo catback myself, but, I am curious to know how much louder it will be. And yes, the J-pipes are to reduce drone and can be adjusted to your liking. Keep us posted with this mod.

I got the magnaflow resonated x pipe , solo hiflo cats and solo axelback. Welded open the butterfly valves that came on my vert and it sounds great great when cruising loud when you get on it im going to swap my shorties for 2 inch longtubes and no cats see what it sounds like. Might need to add some mufflers will see

I have the Solo catback with SW long tubs & HFC's. The exhaust is still quiet unless you're on it or on cold start. I will be doing a cat delete this spring, if this doesn't wake up the exhaust a little more I will be forced to scrap this setup and go with a full SW setup. Solo is a great exhaust the, excellent build quality and finish, just a tad too quiet for my tastes.

Yes I have that exhaust since they first came out before the j-pipes. I added the j-pipes when they were introduced. Love the system, its holding up real well with no issues. The j-pipes work great to tune out the drone. My car was actually real quiet in the car on highway and around town. Only issue I have now is because I added a cam and blower and it is real loud inside the car. Need to find a solution or it might be time for something else.
