I have searched a fair bit about the x-pipe/standard difference (expecting to have to change cats relatively soon) and can come to no conclusion other than sound. But is there any dyno evidence?
I'll comment on my current belief but would love to have more informed comments.
Ok my current belief is: -
1) If x-pipes were a benefit then Porsche would have built them that way.
2) I have heard comments like "x-pipes make 996s' sound like M3s", well toddle off an buy an M3 then, I like my flat 6 sound.
I'd love to hear some educated opinions, tbh if it still sounded like a flat 6 but a little more "screamy" with no loss of engine characteristics/performance then I'd be interested.
