     I'm also glad that you mentioned how it would alter the sound because that would probably be a deal killer for me.  


    Don't let it be a deal killer, the exhaust note will still be great with a cross over. 
    I am old school and like to be different. You probably could not tell the difference unless the two cars were side by side and then like I mentioned it's a preference thing. The only way I could explain the exhaust note would be to use a Harley...they come with a dual exhaust from the factory with a cross over (now a days even have a catalytic converter incorporated in it). Remove the head pipes and replace it with a true dual and you will have a sound more of a drum beat...hope that makes sense.

    Are you looking at doing an x-pipe for performance or sound...or both?

    The x-pipe will help over all for performance but in my opinion at the sacrifice of a true dual exhaust sound.

    I decided against a cross over (x-pipe or h-pipe) on my Monte so I would have a different sound than most other people...it also helps that I have 3 1/2" Torque Tech exhaust from the headers to rear bumper, lol.

    Hey there Rob - 

    Great news - our Monte is no longer for sale, and we are planning on joining our Monte family in Carlisle this year!  

    I called yesterday to make reservations, and they couldn't find our code - I'm sure they will, but could you tell me what rate you negotiated.  

    Can't wait to see everybody!

    Underpowered, underpowered, underpowered...yeah, that was getting old.

    Okay article but written by someone with minimal car knowledge. One thing that caught my attention was when the one car mentioned with 1200 rear wheel hp only ran in the 9's...should easily be a mid 8 second car.

    Should Have Called The Police

    Bummer on the outcome, people are the same everywhere and hardly ever fess up when they are at fault.

    I learned my lesson years ago and now have a camera in all my vehicles. Saved me twice and the simple words of telling the other insurance company I have video proof speeds things up dramatically. I have even pulled over after "witnessing" an accident and showed the police my video of it. They very thankful and cited the correct person which they said before seeing the video they were just gonna let the insurance companies fight it out.

    I am in Ohio and still working (electrician) as though the pandemic never happened, luckily I have been on jobs that have only one or two other people in the whole building. Some days there were no one except me...I have been doing punchlists for several of the new buildings at the local college we did. Even traveled to Columbus Ohio the past two days to fix things in a school that was remodeled...again just one other person in the entire school. Things could halt at any time though. If they do it will give me a reason to fix things on the Monte and around the house that I am normally too tired to do after work.
