I found the x pipe on my 4.8is to give a bit more sound/db at idle and partial throttle, not a huge amount. But side by side to stock you absolutely can tell the difference at idle and partial throttle.

It's an inexpensive mod - for more bark than just the x-pipe I'd get new mufflers.

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.

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

Anytime you're on the throttle you will hear the difference. Even at idle its a little louder than stock. It really makes a difference the more and more you get on it.

Here's my clip but there are others if you search:

I just bought it on ebay for like $70. Just search ebay on "magnaflow x-pipe 2.25".

The xpipe seems so simple, I wonder if the exhaust shop can just fabricate one for me.

Probably, but is all that trouble really worth saving $50? :rofl:
