A question regarding aftermarket mufflers
This question is specifically directed toward those brave souls who have installed aftermarker mufflers on their X's. Other than improved auditory sensation have you any verified improvement in either fuel mileage or acceleration? I am a new owner of an 05 Sportwagon. Extensive modifications include, Karl's airbox mod, black mesh grill, and a trailer hitch.

With restrictive cat up front youll be hard pushed to notice any difference and apparently some which claim power increases actually decrease the power as the stock system is good given the restrictions.A new back box would give a different exhaust note and because of this you may think its quicker.

ok, I can not really achieve more power or efficiency with aftermarket mufflers but, I can make more noise. Sooooo, if I spent upwards of $400.00 to make more noise is there any kind of guarantee that I will be more successful in picking up hot chicks who will just "know" that I am one of the cool guys because I drive a Jag wagon that makes noise?

Lymeboy, are you after a woman with only a body or are you after a woman with brains? if you are only after the body, then getting past the "more power" bit will be easy. Tint the windows nice and dark and tell them that you can give them a ride in the ride. LMAO. Just having the Jag puts you yards ahead of the other boys in their rice.

Then would that mean that if she starts "shifting the stick" that it would make your car a manual? Just a point to ponder.
Disco, yes, there are many limitations with this car. I wouldn't say that they are a lot of downsides, we just have to be a bit more creative in what we do. Every vehicle has its downsides. It is just a matter of whether you can live with them.
