X-Force Exhaust - Review

I have had the Varex for a few months too - I am very happy.
The exhaust is quiet overall, no drone at all while cruising. With the flap closed it is like stock, with the flap open it is a muffled growl, almost sounds as if the exhaust is congested. For me, this is perfect - I do not like raspy sounding exhausts. If I could change one thing, I wish it were 10% louder with the flap open but the tone is great.
Performance wise, I noticed a little bit of improvement - but it was not a night and day difference.
Also note, I had my speed shop do the install (not a dedicated muffler shop), it bolted right on but I have some squeaking/clanking/rubbing going on while driving over bumps. Minor stuff, and only noticeable when driving with the windows down, but still annoying. I need to get to a muffler shop for an adjustment.

X-pipe, straight pipes to the varex mufflers. I also have headers. I can tell you it's loud and I have some rasp sound only when in load. Otherwise it's addictive when you floor it and can be closed to sound similar to stock.

I built my system using varex mufflers. I don't have the official x-force exhaust.

Mine's a 16ga so I'm eliminating possible drones coming from a thin exhaust.

I like the X force. Hangers were fixed, tips still had to be chopped. Its way throatier than OEM, I believe the videos online don't really do it justice. No drone really. Feels like its got more *****. More people come and ask about the car. I'll eventually get around to doing some good video/audio before I take the mufflers off and bolt on my straights.
For the price, you cant beat this exhaust. And the muffler section is bolt on, you could do w.e you want with some extra flanges.
Oh I have the non varex for the record. Headers next for sure.
