Just wanted to post my recent surprising experience swapping my Steeda Xpipe for the Corsa double Hpipe. I was actually fairly happy with the sound from the Xpipe but gave in to my curiosity hoping to getting that deeper tone everyone talks about and maybe a little more volume.
Surprise! Despite the HH pipe being 3inch, it's noticeably quieter and not at all deeper in tone. Track mode on my active exhaust is now somewhere between the sound level of the normal and sport setting with the xpipe, but it is a much "cleaner" tone with less rasp.
The other surprise is actually a positive. There has been a butt dyno certified improvement in low end torque with the HH pipe. Throttle response is better and my A10 is shifting noticeably smoother than it did with the Xpipe. My normal drive mode now feels more like it did in sport with the Xpipe lol.
In all, I love the throttle response improvement, but prefer the volume and maybe even the rasp of the xpipe. I just thought the swapping of benefits was odd. Anyone else have this experience?
I reached out to Roush and they confirmed they will be releasing an active exhaust for the 2024 GT in the next few months
