Well for xmas my gf said she will buy me an exhaust.I was gonna get the Precision Muffler axelback for $240 but now Strup axelback is on sale for $250. I dont like ricy sound and dont want it too loud. Anybody have any opinions to help me choose?
Thanx

 

First, let me qualify this with the fact that I do not own either.

Everything I have seen regarding axle back exhaust systems on the xB and performance says that they all perform about the same. There really isn't a whole lot to be gained performance wise with an axle-back alone.

That being said, I would spend the extra $10 on the Strup over the Precision system. Mostly because the added features you get with the Strup vs. the Precision axle-back. The Strup is full stainless construction and mandrel bent. The Precision uses mild steel tubing and uses standard bends. You can get a similar exhaust bent up and installed at a local muffler shop for under $200.

This isn't to say that either company is better to deal with than the other. From what I have seen on these forums, both are great, respectable companies.

Bottom line though... with the price so close, choose the one YOU like best.

 

i had the greddy evo 2 and i loved it not rice at all but it is also and extra 70 bucks than what you are alredy lookin at but that is my $.02 and it fills that cut out mighty nice

I have owned the Precision axle-back for nearly a year and a half. The sound is low and deep on take-off and varies as you speed up depending on how much you press the gas pedal. The best part though, at freeway speeds, the noise is close to stock level. It doesn't invade the passenger compartment with overwhelming noise. Now... that's the reason why I bought it! I am pretty happy with it. :D

 

Topic creator- where'd you find a Strup that cheap?


Reason is, I'm finally able to order an exhaust tonight, and was going to go with the precision muffler, but an above poster brought up a point a didn't notice, about the Strup having mandrel bends and full stainless.

 

strup all the way......ive got v.1 axle back...imo i think it sounds perfect ...and looks great....

 

get the strup one

 

Any pics of the Strup installed to see the ground clearance?

 

custom catback. any style , any volume , any price.

 

Strup all the way.

 

Strup without a doubt. I own v.1 and I wouldnt have gone any other way. It's sound is perfect not at all ricey and it looks amazing.

Just my 2 cents

Good luck whichever way you go.

 

I had the vs. 1 and switched to vs 2 when it came out for better ground clearance. (I got the first one off the line. )

Half my club is rolling with Strup. :D

 

jic.

I guess if it has to be those two *cough jic cough* then i'd vote for strup.

I've always liked the way the Strup tucks under Dave's xB!

 

yeah scionic man said that it looked low when he was following behind me....

 

If can pony up the difference....Go with MagnaFlow.......I just put that on my Xb....Man...is it nice....sounds great...I will try to post some pictures tomorrow during the daylight.......but..I paid $459...but well worth it..and its a Cat-Back.......and couple with a DC header & Injen Intake.. sounds awesome when I row through the gears

 

You can never go worng with a PrecisionMuffler.com axle back.


Great price and great clearance. :D


Our axle back special is going on until the end of the year. :D $240.00 for an axle back is always a great deal. :D
