Question about 550 X-pipe exhaust mods

I installed a Stebro X-pipe on my 550. I loved it. You can't go wrong!

 

I also have a Stebro on my 456 and like it a lot.

 

Gary - hurry up and install one on your car, I want to hear what it sounds like! I bought one last year and have not installed it yet......

Tritone

 

I had the 2nd gen tubi's. I loved it!!!!!

 

What does he charge for the x-pipe. I might pick one up for my 456. Is he in Sydney?

 

Yes I do

Did you have the tubi before you did the x pipe? I have the x-ost, and it's loud but not nearly like the high pitch of my 355. It must either be the cats or this long pipe. It's very deep though. It sets of car alarms everywhere I go.

 

Looks pretty good, does anyone know the size of the tubing?

 

It is unfortunate a simple question caused you such grief, my sincere apologies.

I am not certain a 12 cylinder really needs an x-pipe for other than sound reasons. From the looks of it, I think it serves a valid purpose and is worth installing.

Yes, I have had several mid-engined models and in my older age am considering a front engine.

Sorry, no I was asking oss117 since he said he had both. The 456 has a 550 engine which is why I was asking. They both have a center pipe.

 

I've heard a lot of bad things about Stebro as well. This is why I thought I would pick up one from Australia. I'm over there often, so I may just pop in to see him.

 

I have also heard a lot of bad things about Stebro. I installed the x-pipe for $880 on my old 550 and it was fantastic. No problems.

 

Nice 456!!!

 

No, it is not.
In fact, I had installed a pair of Stebro tail mufflers for a short while but went back to the Tubi as the Stebro were disturbingly loud at idle and at low rpm but made no difference up at high rpm.

 

Sorry Mark, but I wasn't sure you were asking me.
Yes, the Tubi was there first and the sound was nothing to write home about.
Then I decided to try the Stebro X pipe and remove the center muffler.
It proved very effective: the sound is a bit louder at idle, without being annoying, but above 4,000 rpm it turns into a wail that is tipycal 12 cylinders.
I would also say that, by the seat of the pants, performance has improved as well.

I will also add that I had a few dealings with Stebro and never had anything to complain about.

 

I have a pair of Stebro tail mufflers that I am selling, as the combination of Stebro X pipe and Stebro tail mufflers was too loud for me (basically it was straight pipes all the way through).
I would let them go for $ 1,500.00 if anyone is interested.
I have used them for one week.

 

Thank you Greg!
