So from my understanding, OP in that thread replaced both the resonator and the 3rd cat with that? I will have to look at sound clips of it once I get off work. I was hoping to just replace 3rd cat with just a small x and keep stock resonator and mufflers. Curious of the difference between that and doing what that OP did.

In any event it's always nice to get an inside perspective of ideas before pulling the trigger. Z

You need a connection between banks IMO otherwise it sounds more like a v6 bonneville with no muffler or those nasty v6 pontiacs. Its much more of a weird rasp.

I read through that thread religiously. Lol

I called jones and the center to center measurement is 4"

I measured the stock resonator and it looks like its 4" as well c to c.

Do you remember exactly the issue?

Im debating on ordering flex sections if its off a bit otherwise i wont need them.

Thanks for all responses so far, I found a company called Jones out of TN and they make 2.5 and 2.25 x pipes that supposedly are slip fit . Im calling today to verify that. . I found lap joint clamps and ss pipe at summit racing.
If its slip fit like im understanding ill be ordering this week .

I used jones for my X. It worked fine. The issue you will have is that the shape of the jones X vs. that of the stock resonator is a bit different. As such, it may not be a direct fit.

I believe since I ordered a 2.5" x-pipe, and the stock stuff was 2.25" the shop that did my install had to make a slightly curved reducer to go from the stock piping into the X, and then out of the x into the stock catback. However, I only repalced the resonator, not the 3rd cat as well, and I believe it would have been easier had I done both.

@Zsho - All is well my friend. Just trying not to get too immersed here, lest I mod the crap out of the fusion while I wait on info on the next SHO model.

A tstat and tune is not even dipping your toes into the modwaters! Do it do it do it ...

Thanks @derfdog15

I ordered a 2.25 inch x pipe and I'll see how that goes and let you guys know how the fitment was
