And how would you say your sound changed? A worthy investment in your opinion?

And MTX5, you truck sounds HOT!!! It looks good too! I have a 5 spd manual myself. There are aftermarket mufflers on my X and it does have a little tiny baby growl. I forget the name though. I will post the name when I get my X back from the shop. I remember its inscribed on the chrome tips. But I dont think the stock resonator has been removed.

This seems like a good mod and not too expensive.
I dont think the mufflers are aftermarket. Seems its just the tips. They say 3a racing on them.

I love it!!
Thinking of doing one one on my MB SL500(R230).
Cheaper than the AMG 55/65 system.
