xpart exhaust

Hi

I have just purchased a zt 260 v8 and am asking if i should buy the xpart rear box for the exhaust. how loud are they???

Also does anyone know were you can get a good deal on them

My car is a MK2 54 reg se

regards

Tim

you mean the x power rear boxes, have a look on ebay as the price is much cheaper, the other alternate is the zero's. but depends on what you want. use the search feature and you'll find sound bites of both to compare

General concensus is the Xpart box produces an unpleasant resonance at 2000rpm, not nice.

Hence everyone goes for the custom made Zeros.

not the case with mine!

Love 'em - as heard going around Silverstone today (albeit only 2 laps) ;) sounded good going through the pit lane though!

in an ideal world - go out in 2 cars, 1 with each fitted, and then make up your own mind!

:cool:

Hi Tim.
I had the same dilema when i wanted to change our backboxes. You can read my post and all it's replies here:

I fitted the X-POWERS and they are absolutely fabulous have no regrets whatsoever. I don't think they are boomy at all at 2000 Rpm with no resonance noted either. I think it depends on what the individual wants in a car. If you like your cars quiet, understated but powerful then IMO the X-Powers are not for you but if you want your car to sound like the V8 it was meant to be and unleash all it's power with a thunderous roar but still cruise with a pleasing V8 burble then they are the exhausts for you :D

If you live near Cumbria you are welcome to hear them in person.

Good luck with you're desicion, Steve:cool:

Standards compared to zeroes:

Standards compared to xpowers can be heard on youtube:

Xpowers are much more raw, quite a different sound to zeroes or standard. zeroes are a refined deeper grumble but of similar sound as standard.

However, when you come to one of the social gatherings you will realise how quiet the stock exhausts are compared to both the zeroes and xpowers. :)
