Grancabrio x-pipe

[blue520]

Decided that an x-pipe is the first exhaust mod to make and note that both the Larini and Fabspeed x-pipes seem very expensive for what they are. Do you think a good exhaust shop could make one that would do the same job a lot cheaper?

Have a word with Marios at Autoshield, he gets X-pipes done for GTs.

£300 plus £75 to fit @ Autoshield, I'll be on the case with one soon

 

[Ebenezer]

How about QPVs?

[StuartW]

Call him and ask, I can't see why he couldn't do one

If you can't get to Manchester (or don't want to) then you can get someone to take the stock one off send it to Autoshield who will make it specifically and send it back.

Could someone explain what an X Pipe is and what it does? I have an MC Shift that sounds amazing in sport mode already...what would an X pipe do? Make it sound even better...hard to believe! Can't find any videos on youtube...

 

[BennyD]

An X-pipe is an exhaust pipe in which the two pipes (1 from each bank of cylinders) meet and cross over under the centre of the car. This allows the pulses in one pipe to help extract exhaust gases from the cylinders on the other bank. Your car already has an X-pipe on it but it is silenced. What an unsilenced X-pipe does is allow out more of the sound you have already got with a lot more pops and crackles as well. For the relatively small outlay it's a no brainer.

Any downsides to the xpipe modification ? On the 4.7s mc shift

 

[BennyD]

None at all mate, especially on the MC Shift.

Stewart T on here has an x pipe on his MC Shift. Short vid here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwqZKaz6pcs&feature=youtu.be

It sounds amazing in real life!

Thanks sounds good! Only issue is that it would void my warrantywise warranty!

 

[BennyD]

Why? It was on when you got it. Anyway, it isn't a performance enhancement modification.

 

[hodroyd]

You may get a few extra horses with an unsilenced version..!!

I don't see why it would but you should ask first to be on the safe side

Does anyone know where you can purchase a Larini x pipe from in the UK

 

[StuartW]

From here:
http://www.torenno.com/maserati/mas...ranturismo-s-larini-club-sport-centre-section

Or get basically the same thing made for you from here, keeping British industry going and for a significant cost saving over a Larini too
