Ok, I am tired of not having many choices for cat-back exhausts for the xB so my buddy and I are working on a system for all of us xB owners.

The shop the work was done at is Boost Factory in Bloomington, MN. My friend Chuck owns it and his shop mainly does turbo systems, but he can fabricate anything.

Here are pics of the progress so far.....

The center section, test fitted and welded together and positioned under the car.


Chuck, fitting the muffler.


Chuck, bending up a hanger.


The over the rear suspension section test fitted and welded up.


The stainless tail pipe.


The center section out from under the car so Chuck could finish the welds.


The product I applied to the exhaust to make it a little stealthy and to help protect it.


Another side of Chuck. :-P


Muffler inlet compairisons.


Tail pipe compairisons.


Center section outlet compairisons.


Center section compairisons.


Mounting the finished center section. Notice the stock hangers are used.



Mounting the muffler. Notice how all the stock hangers are used.




And the tail pipe.



I am not quite happy with the sound right now but I believe a resonator spliced into the center pipe will take care of the problems.

I will post a sound clip once I am happy with the sound of the exhaust.

Also, once I am happy with it, the system is gonna get pulled off my car and sent in to get measured up. Once measured up, Boost Factory will have the pipes pre-bent to fit the xB and then it can be sold as a kit.

Please keep posted to this thread for updates, also post in here if you are interested in buying a kit so I can guage interest in this.
