Not sure if anyone has bought it, but the X-Pipe setup from Hartge looks particularly nice. Here is the photo of one for the 4.8is. They are also running a discount right now of half price for remaining stock.

How much is that setup? Looks good, but if its more than $150, then that magnaflow x-pipe is the deal! No one is ever going to see how nice that Hartge setup is under your car.

Around 250 euros or so.

Where can you buy that setup from, here in the US?

Nice looking set of pipes - this would be the slickest way to go but not sure if it's worth the extra $ over a standard x pipe you can get for less than $100. You will save some time welding but not sure it would be enough to make up the cost difference. But it is nice looking.

With this x pipe on the photo I think I could be sure that if I don't like the work, I can immeditaly put on the stock resonator. 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.
