Supersprint Powerloops and SS X-pipe
Does anyone here have the combo of SuperSprint Powerloops mufflers with the SuperSprint X-pipe? I'd love to hear how that sounds if there is a video or sound file. Now that I know my engine isn't dead, I'm looking to do some more tweaks. After having not driven my car for a couple of months, I didn't realize how much I missed it.

RE x-pipe, but same as SS - no resonator. It seems you are debating on just the x-pipe portion. I don't have sound clips, but I had the same setup in the link with powerloops and STOCK x-pipe (all other mods the same), and then installed the RE x-pipe (straight pipes just like SS). Car became slightly louder and throatier. It was pretty subtle. YMMV though, because stock header/section 1 and roadster. Hope that helps. |

From my opinion with the Race SS cans and SS X-pipe. The X-pipe adds around 20% more sound a little bit more vibration. I do not think you will get lots of vibration with the powerloops, maybe none.
You don't have your Powerloops any more Reborn x-x wow! If I would get a pair of Powerloops I would never would let them go.

How do the powerloops compare with Stromung? The fit and form looks slightly better (SS also heavier), otherwise is there a large change in sound. Thinking of adding an RE X-Pipe to my car as well.

86Zed,
The mufflers are similar in sound. You're right on the weight. The Stomung are light, and the Powerloops are much heavier. The Powerloops look like jewelry compared to the Stromung. Fit and finish much nicer. At least the Stromung on my car droned a little more, but they also popped and gurgled more. I miss the pops and gurgles of the Stromung. Some people say they have no drone with the Powerloops, but I still have a little, but it is definitely less than the Stromung. This could be related to something touching. When I get the car back on a lift, I'm going to check to make sure nothing is rubbing/touching. I know the mufflers are isolated, but maybe something else along the exhaust piping is touching when it gets hot and expands. Until my engine gets warm, I have zero drone, but after everything heats up, I get a little drone under load in certain RPMs, but again, very minor. With the top down, I don't notice it all. Salty
