X pipe needed in Italy
 
Hi! I have heard about the x-pipe for the 4.4 only in the foreign forum.
Here in italy nobody can supply this for my car.
Is anybody selling the car and want to sell me this part?
Or do you have an idea about the price of a new one?

Thanks

Thank you very much for you suggestion. It's seems interesting!
Did you fix it in your x? Or do you know if it can be fixed with bolts only or I have to cut something and not put inside the old pipes?

Thanks
bye

I have it on my X. You will need a muffler shop to remove your resonator and weld on the X-pipe. I do not recommend bolt on at all as the resonator has to get cut off.

I was thinking that I can fix it and if I don't like the too loud sound I can immediatly take it out..but seems to be difficult.
What about the noise? I'm worried about it. And if I'll have to put again the original pipes, what I could do?
do you have performance increase? Or nothing? - Only sound -

There is no performance increase unless you do the other necessary modifications. Noise wise, it just gave my X a deeper sound, not loud and obnoxious. I did AFE CAI, and Magnaflow Free Flow mufflers. These 3 things just gave my X a more rapid response, a better air flow and deeper sound. I will also be doing Dinan Stage 1 engine and tranny software upgrade and this will possibly give me a HP increase.

When you delete/remove the resonator, keep it and drive your X for a few days to let the X-pipe settle in. If you dont like the deeper sound, you'll just reverse the process.
