VE Series I SS Ute
I've had in excess of 20 people over the last two years who have said they love the sound of my ute. I have a Magnaflow 3". Others on here that have Magnaflow also say they have a nice note.
Only time I've heard people say an X Force sounds good is people on FB Buy and Sell trying to offload their bus.

Gmm triple stepped headers.
They go from 1&3/4" to 1&7/8" to 2".

They're been pretty good for around 18 months so far.

Mine doesn't sound anywhere near as bad as it did before I had it modified.

I'm actually starting to like it..

What mods did you do to your x force?

I had the x-pipe cut out and replaced it with a straight through piece on each side, which essentially made it a true dual system and then added a H-pipe in front of that. So much better.

Nice mate is it stainless or mild steel?

It's stainless.
Before the mods, I hated the sound and was going to upgrade to a manta/dpe catback, leaving my gm motorsport triple stepped headers and cats in place.

But it has changed the sound of the system so much that I now leave the stereo off and a window down so I can hear it. I really like it.

This is the piece I deleted.

*Note how thin the material is. This is probably 1 reason why xforce systems sound tinny and ****.
