+1 mod/repair
Got my X back after repairing the dent someone left in my car. I found out i was hit again by a parked car... Something red and something low. But no marks on the car just on the exhaust pipe. It got slightly bent up and somehow damaged at the bottom(there was a Ding). And recently when i hit bumps that are hard i could hear a rattle noise. So i bought it over to V and S and had Vince check it out for me, and couldn't find anything wrong with the pipe work. Just Dent in the muffler. He said its not really issue but if it bothers me enough to have it fixed. Now... i could of got the 3.0 exhaust... but why not add a mod while we at it .







Just picked these Pipes from nrar0707 today and i thought i could install it too but V and S isnt open today =[ so ill have to wait later this week

You too chicken out.. lol.
Go ahead and put on the X pipe,it's not going to give you any ill at all, just a little noise when start up and great sound when you step on the pedal.

Forgot to mention that you could put slip-on OEM chrome or shadowline chrome tips on there if you don't want to polish them. Good luck with the install!
