Thanks for the fast replies. I’m not sure if they have Magnaflow here in Sweden but I’ll look around. I think I’m stuck getting the Simons because it’s the only one I can find here at this moment. Do you think there is a BIG difference in sound & performance between the two? And as for placement I thought the same. (Middle)

I like the sound of that. I like it a lot. I see we are in the UK? Where did you get your pipe done and what did they do please? I am based in Kent.

I recently had the X-pipe installed on my 4.8is and holy shit is it awesome. One of the best mods for this car by far in my opinion. The startup sounds is amazing. The x gives it a really deeper throatier v-8 sound. I will post a sound clip and provide link
