You got a Range Rover that sounds like a muscle car & you did it yourself! (you can't see it, but I'm applauding right now)

[@Kordare]

Thanks a lot🤘🤘

[@Ebikelover]

Such an impressive build and welding skills

[@Kordare]

Thanks a lot 🤘

[@Simnettnutrition]

It sounds so good. Great concise video as well. It would have been cool to also hear how an x-pipe added would compare. I wish my computer speakers did this video justice.

[@Kordare]

Thanks for checking it out 🤘

[@thundertc88]

I gave this video a thumbs up because it’s all meat and potatoes with no filler! 👍👍👍

Thanks a lot

*Sounds GREAT!!!!*

[@jacknickprobe]

Perfect thanks! I follow you on instagram because I used to have a mustang, but now have a jaguar XFR with the same 5.0 supercharged. The stock setup is a dual in/out resonator with perforated pipes that acts like a balance pipe and I always wondered what a proper H would sound like. Everyone puts X pipes on the jags but the smooth out the sound so much that it becomes very quiet and loses the V8 rumble.

[@Kordare]

Awesome, yeah I really like the sound that resulted from the h-pipe.

Isn't range over from england?

Great professional job. H pipe all the way!

[@Kordare]

Agreed, thanks!

[@jamesschug3137]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@howdythere2419]

I like the choppy sound of no crossover but I can see the appeal of the H pipe as its still decently choppy and very deep. I dont care for the x pipe sound that most cars have nowadays.

[@Kordare]

Agree🙌

[@FiveBoroNative]

I liked it both ways, but the H-pipe does what it was supposed to do and you said there was too much drone without it. I'm starting to question my choice to install an X-pipe. I also installed resonators on my car and I am definitely removing them to assess the difference. Thanks for this video.

[@Kordare]

Good luck with yours!

[@Robdutton91]

I had an X pipe on my car when I bought it, swapped for an H now and like you I’ve added resonators and regret the resonators! But the H definitely sounds meaner, X is more race car vibe

[@FiveBoroNative]

@@Robdutton91 sometimes you try to have a "civilized" sound, but the resonators just make it sound muddy.

[@kordelwilliams5770]

Nice

[@retroguitarmaster]

I know this does not pertain to the video but does your concrete floor have a coating or something to make it look polished like that?

[@Kordare]

Yes it is a surecrete polyaspartic coating

[@kevin_hemi3923]

I own the zoomers exhaust for a dodge challenger (its true duals) it Sounds absolutely perfect (but i live in germany, and its too loud 😅) would the h pipe lower the decibels a bit? (every decibel count🙈)

[@Kordare]

It may help

[@Zydrin]

Do you do customer work? I know you're located somewhere in PA, as am I, and I didn't know if you did paid work. Your work you do is stellar and would love to have something made by you in the future.

[@Kordare]

Unfortunately I've just got too much going on with my own projects so I don't really do any customer work anymore. Sorry about that!

[@Zydrin]

@@Kordare it's alright man! Keep up the good work.

[@chrissanchez9218]

Always wondered what my 2020 mustang Gt would’ve sounded like if I did true duals but now it’s x pipe or H pipe can’t decide and I hate raspy sound but there’s some systems that sound good af with x pipe and minimal rasp .... I’ll have to go to a car meet and see if there’s any exhaust I like but new to the car scene smh but I’m 22 so still young

[@blyat9448]

Your car already has true duals but the x-pipe setup on the coyote is so good. Unless you plan on tuning as well, id go with an upgraded x pipe and Roush or Borla axle backs

[@cmcmcc553]

Sounds nice and nasty now love it

[@Kordare]

🙌🙌

[@larsjrgensen5975]

Thanks for the work and demo. Straight pipes on a range rover just sounds weird to me, to much snap crackle and pop.

[@Kordare]

Haha I love it 🤘

[@DiscoFang]

Well, no one can rightly argue you didn't make it louder and more obnoxious.

[@CaldasRamses]

Boa noite. O Hpipe ficou excelente….Em viagens longas ficou com ressonância na cabine? Obrigado

[@Kordare]

obrigado! Não acho que ressoe muito, mas gosto de carros barulhentos.

[@rifleman7313]

It would have been nice for a H P./Trq dyno comparison between the True Dual and H-Pipe exhaust set ups. If it isn't very much performance difference I would have gone with the raspy true dual exhaust but thats just me.

[@Kordare]

While driving the h-pipe sounded way better

[@rifleman7313]

@@Kordare Duly noted, I really like the sound of classic V-8's and it seems as though the true duals sound more similar to this especially at idle.

[@Kordare]

@@rifleman7313 maybe at idle but definitely not under load

[@Fosgen]

Excellent fabricator and engineer. Have you tried to use solar flux instead argon?

[@Kordare]

Thanks a lot! And no I have not, I've had such good success with Argon I never really ventured away from it.

[@Fosgen]

@@Kordare I am not at your level of welding skill yet. I use 309L electrodes for 1.5 mm wall tubing with 1.2 Hz pulse (TIG machine). Flux protects back of weld. But same mechanical engineer as you. GTAW learning curve is steeper than SMAW, as I have noticed.

[@Kordare]

@@Fosgen oh okay yeah it definitely took me years of TIG to get comfortable with it. Just keep doing it and you will get there. I'm still using a basic machine without pulse. I pulse manually using the foot pedal.

[@Fosgen]

@@Kordare Mine is very basic, but got 1.2 Hz, 200 Hz and some post and pre flow. Surprisingly 1.2Hz helps a lot with stick welding thin stainless. Funny it is how welding always looks easy and effortless, but when it comes to actually do it, well, we both know how it is. Experience^3.

[@Kordare]

@@Fosgen oh I know exactly how difficult it really is 😅

[@smooth235]

Nice sound 👌🏿 Is it straight piped?

[@Kordare]

Thanks! Basically but it still has the cats.

[@lowdenzacry]

Nice work. I bet a dual x pipe 🤔 would sound great 👌...I'm sure you'd have no problems making one.

[@Kordare]

Thanks! Yeah that would be interesting 🤔

[@muaythai193]

@@Kordare to me an h-pipe or no crossover always sounds better than an x-pipe. No crossover and glasspacks work best imo, when talking strictly about sound. H-pipe with glasspacks have the best low down performance, while still having that nice V8 rumble. Straight pipe without glasspacks and with x-pipe sound too high pitched and tinny, for my taste.

[@Kordare]

@@muaythai193 for this setup the no crossover sounded way more high pitched and droany. The h-pipe gave a much deeper V8 sound and way less droan.

[@muaythai193]

@@Kordare I‘m telling you man, try no crossover with glasspacks. They turn that high pitch into lovely deep rumble. The h-pipe sounds best when comoletely straight piped, true, and gives the best mix between sound and performance imo, but does still merge the exhaust pulses when stepping on it, which the no crossover setup doesn’t. H-pipe sounds better with glasspacks as well btw, at least to me. Glasspacks do exactly that, filter out the high pitch sounds from the outside and leave the deep rumble from the inside. (Center and outer areas inside the pipes I mean of course, as the high pitch soundwaves are always further away from the center, they get swallowed by the glasspacks.)

[@TheAnonymous1one]

H pipe for the win

[@anthonyslater7300]

Sounds amazing but where the cat converter for emissions

[@Kordare]

Cats are still there. They are in the downpipes right before the part I built. Thanks!

[@muaythai193]

The true dual no crossover setup needs glasspacks imo, then it’s best.

[@ReidHenderson]

Those pops on decel make me chub

[@Kordare]

😂😂

[@tonyjackson4099]

Crossovers should be as close to headers or manifolds as possible. Sounds great but would get even smoother the closer the crossover is. And H-pipes are better for low-end torque and X-pipes are better for high-end horsepower.

[@Kordare]

Yup definitely agree but was obviously limited with the setup I was dealing with by where the exhaust is split.

[@Akestler]

Now do a double H and see how it sounds 😂

[@Kordare]

😂😂

[@Akestler]

@Kordare corsa makes them for new mustangs and it actually makes the coyote sound good

[@unknownuser-fy5gy]

so true pipes sound the best, H-pipe makes it sound like a goCart, literally

[@Kordare]

Definitely think the h-pipe sounds way better , lower deeper tone and much less droan/rasp.

Now that you mention it the h pipe totally sound like a go kart 😂
