Hartge x pipe
 

so i am battling with an X pipe install, the welds keep leaking, its wasn't done well. anyhow. i want to get my hands on a hartge x pipe. part number 18 53 0755 N
where can i find one?

The company was running a special on them, like 50% or something. Contact Germany or their US distributor. Personally I think they look great.

See the last post on this thread:

i emailed them, it would nice to get a deal on one. my buddy and i snotted on an xpipe and it just keeps leaking. i fix it, then it leaks. i fix it again, then it leaks.

that hartge x pipe will force me to cut my exhaust behind the cats, then clamp on? the realoem.com site shows clams there, but that is not the case, it was pipe from the cats to the resonator.

you know ballpark what the price was?

Yeah, sometimes you get what you pay for in life. Hartge stuff is pretty solid and high quality. They have setups for 4.4, 4.6is, 4.8is and ran around 250 euros with VAT, which you should be able to avoid paying. Don't know about shipping costs.

VAT?

Value Added Tax

But they don't carry anything for the X5 do they?

i did shoot an email their way as well. i hope to hear from someone.

im going on vacation wednesday and hope to have one on my door step when i return so i can just chop off the mess i made and have a nice setup going.

my x sounded great when the holes were patched. the stuff i used doesnt seem to last.

is there other companies that sell x-pipes like the hartge? not that i'm bailing on hartge, but i wanna know what my options are.
