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...

With the magnaflox x pipe only, you have to do all the welding work, and if you will have to put inside the stock? Another welding work? It's too complicate. Why you all do this welding operation? The complete can be done in few minutes in your home, for the other you need a technician....not?

Uhhmm ... let's investigate this more shall we.

Approx. price of Magnaflow x-pipe = $70 USD
Approx. price of Hartge setup = $330 USD

Availability of Magnaflow x-pipe in USA = Everywhere
Availability of Hartge setup in USA = ???? (is it even available?)
Not taking into acct. any shipping costs if gettting from overseas.

Installation costs will vary for both setup.

Not saying your points are not valid but there are other considerations.

Have just had a ride in a 4.6 with exhaust mod. Sounded fantastic, the deepest best sounding mod i have heard. You can hear it at idle and inside when stepping on it but when cruising hardly noticeable. Upon looking at it the centre resonator has been left on with two straight pipes coming off it but without the back boxes. The beauty here is that they can easily be bolted on and off without any of the welding issues of the x pipe. i have heard the remus exhaust and it doesnt sound much different from stock. this mod sounds fantastic, hence to say mine is booked in for the same.

so I just had the resonator taken off last night replaced with two individual 2.25 straight pipes.... car sounds raspy, has a lot of popping on deaceleration. and i feel some not a lot but some loss in torque low end.

im gonna order the magna flow X pipe to see if it will sound better I know it will even out the sound but will it bring my low end torque back to stock>?

If its not lound enough i plan to swap the mufflers with magnaflows
