I have a 3.0 so maybe this is a moot point but Im scared if I do this mod it will be too loud and droning. I drive 2 hrs to ski at least 4x a year and take at least 2 more long distance trips a year of 3 or more hours.

Sometimes I hear these little rice-burners or these Tahoes with their magnaflows and know Id be annoyed after a half hour.

Don't worry, I'm making my radio louder as well!

No sucky stereos in this neck of the woods Mr Keister! Just dropped $2000 on a non-sucking aftermarket JVC Navigation system. Made a couple of posts about it...

Don't worry man i got 3.0 and drive to little kids and wife in it on highways and so on. Difference is on lower rpm and out side car. inside car u can hardly hear difference and on faster driving there is no difference at all. So basically it gets little bit deeper and stronger sound which is hard to hear on video but outside car or with open windows. "normal" driving no difference. You will be very happy with it if you are not fan of sport exhausts that makes whole neighborhood awake when you drive through. Nice mod for every day car.

The xpipe seems so simple, I wonder if the exhaust shop can just fabricate one for me.

Probably, but is all that trouble really worth saving $50?
