- Hi All
I installed the Xforce cat-back exhaust system on our N-Line (stock downpipe, resonated mid-pipe and valved rear muffler).
Here’s a brief cold start comparison and after-revs for anyone looking to do the same.
IMO it sounds pretty nice. Compared to our N, the sound is unique given the different engine displacement, stock tuning, etc
Here are some of my thoughts on the system after 7 months:
- The tone and growl are unique and a bit deeper than the N but can be toned down with the values closed.
- Pops and bangs are night and day to the stock exhaust. I wouldn’t compare them to the N though because on standstill, they happen much lower in the rev range (because of tuning differences between the cars)
- The RPM limiter sound at 3.5-4k on standstill is louder than the Ns Pops and Bangs at 4.5k
- Highway and normal driving has no drone with valves closed, and a slight deep exhaust sound with valves open - not intrusive at all.
- Upshift DCT farts are nice and loud - comparable to the Ns
- Downshift pops and bangs are only subtle since that’s only what the car is tuned to do stock.
Overall I would recommend it for any enthusiast looking for a lot more sound out of the car. I also suggest waiting for some major sales, the RRP of $1.7k AUD is pricey!!
P.S. Only recorded on an iPhone but with headphones, it sounds pretty true to real life just obviously not as loud. I’ll post more videos of comparisons with the N a bit later.
Question for ya: Where did you feed the cable through the car to control the exhaust valves?
I routed them up through the boot (there’s a rubber grommet next to the spare tyre that you can slice and push the cable through and seal with some silicon)
Once in the boot, I picked the end location for the control unit - this was driver side footwell for me.
Then ran the cable along the right side of the car under all the trim pieces, placed the controller in the driver footwell (make sure you secure it properly) neatly ran the power cable to the cigarette lighter.
It’s all quite easy, completely invisible and reversible
@HarpreetSingh-wu4vt Awesome thanks! I'm going to be purchasing the exact same exhaust next month and planning ahead of time. Any issues when installing like leaks or bent parts?
@@WishesForGlitches1 Nice! Yeah it sounds great, I would suggest testing the valve before installing it just so you get familiar with how this valve works if you haven’t used it before.
It’s not like ones I’ve had in the past where it’s just open or close, this one is variable, so when you hold the button to open or close it takes a few seconds to fully open or close.
No issues with removal of old or install of new. Just wd-40 all old nuts/bolts and hangers and it’ll be easy.
@HarpreetSingh-wu4vt preciate all the helpful words my friend. I think I should be good for the install in about a month, I appreciate it a ton! Also thanks for switching the vid from made for kids to not, really wanted to comment for a while now 😅
@@WishesForGlitches1 not a problem at all 😄
Is it premium or performance?
It’s a N-Line Premium
how much did you get it for?
Should be at the start of the video $1444 Aud
@@HarpreetSingh-wu4vt might have to wait for a sale... how much was installation? and when you refer to (stock downpipe, resonated mid-pipe and valved rear muffler), are these components in the xfore catback exhaust system or other mods you did?
Will this pass emissions?
I didn’t touch the catalytic converter so it should, but if you do then probably won’t pass.
