Re: stainless steel muffler (aftermarket)
Thanks Adam,
Yes the boys at Hi-Tech were fantastic and I stayed with them throughout the "operation" (almost 3 hours) as all of us were trying to workout how we gonna get the left hand-side tail pipe through.
I'm definitely positive that the new system is NOT louder than the stock one on RPM's above 2000.
It just starts with a deep note at 1,500RPM and then it is very smooth.
When we tested it, I was expecting to hear that deep gurgle like what you had when we started your exy, but nope, it wasn't there.
At highway speeds I couldn't hear it at all (maybe am getting a bit old and loosing hearing) hehehe
Maybe this will change once it expands and beds in. I'll have to wait and see, but I would love for it to stay the way it is.

Hi Tech Mufflers Offer
Hi Guys,
We (Noel and I) were at the muffler shop today fitting the 3rd set of twins to Noel's exy (yummmm ) and the owner has extended the following attractive offer to our forum.
He would like a volunteer exy owner to accompany him to their factory in Bathurst so they can do a template of the twin muffler combination to enable them to simply post it to other States and countries overseas and the mod can then be installed by the owner and it will be a simple DIY bolt-on process with no welding required.
For your trouble you will score the twin muffler mod for HALF price (i.e. $440 instead of $880)
This will take a whole day, so if anyone is interested, please contact me and I will put you in touch with the owner.
The first member of the forum to respond will score this deal and there can be only one taker.

Re: stainless steel muffler (aftermarket)
(NPC73 logging in from Sydney, X-trail Forum central headquarters, Jalal's place, )
Ok the third set of twins has just been installed and they are brilliant.
The deep sound/hum is very nice. A bit early to tell yet, but I think my exy has a bit more power now. And shall be monitoring fuel consumption as this mod is meant to improve consumption as well,
The install took approximately one hour, which was much quicker than Jalals as mine is the second exy with a towbar.
Stay tuned pics to come.......
Cheers

Geez, now I will have to think of something else to make my X-Trail unique!!!
Welcome to the "twins" club Noel!
- Adam
Yours is still unique, you have the swaybar. hehehe
I have something else, basically every exy in this forum is kinda unique already
Rich: It wasn't worth having this mod dynoed because it is only half of the full performance enhancement pack that can be done
Basically after we had a chat with the owner about what can be done to the xtrail to gain the full potential of the hidden power that is there, I can confirm that NONE of the performance enhancements I have come across so far have done it in full, only bits and pieces of it. There is more HP out there in the exy which can still be explored and am heading that way LOL
The owner of Hi-Tech Mufflers is from a car racing background, so HP gain is his domain and passion.
As for the before and after shots of the height of the stock muffler and this one, pls refer to my photos in the previous page of the thread. Noel will post some more as well soon.
