for those that have this mod done already is it possible if one of u could post some pics of the install?? we got great photos of a C350 to C63 exhaust install, now just looking for the x-pipe install. to be honest, i more or less want, so its easier for me to explain, how and what i want, being that im over in germany. and u no a picture is worth a thousand words.

Your car isn't raspy as hell with straight pipes? I know it's a 350 but my car was horrendous with straight pipes, that's why I promptly got the X pipe.

got_thang?

Yeah I was scared at first but I don't got any rasp at all

yxc145

alright! Got Thang, show us the clip with sound!!!

I am getting my x pipe install tomorrow. can't wait!!!

Has anyone tried an H pipe?

Spec_Davis

I want an X Pipe or Straight pipe but right now i need sound clips and hear the difference between both i need a mean sound not loud but mid range

angeloxnet

does this offer any power gains?
does it affect emissions/mileage?

nbturbos

Take my word for it, dont get straight pipes.

got_thang?

I can't get my hands on any other camera besides my iPhone...

and listen to nbturbos don't get straight pipes he's totally correct I was totally ****ting about it not being raspy since i am a experiment for a muffler shop

Ok, finally got my x-pipe and installed today. The whole process took about 45 minutes. Charged $80. The pipe includes shipping is $65. So total=$145. It sounds great!!!!!! here are some pictures.
Before, during, after.

Spec_Davis

so was the whole thing worth it? sound wise? we need a sound clip

yxc145

sorry... no sound clip yet. but honestly. it sounds exactly like the other guy's. EXACTLY like it.

FrankW

I've already posted sound clips. different x-pipe however. mine's the magnaflow.

yxc145

yeah, i heard your sound. It sound very very much like it. BUT! i feel like it got a little kick to it now. got a little more pick up. Not much, but feels like it. maybe it's psychological?

racetested

Nice, so I take it from the pictures the pipe you bought fit right in place? Enough length, proper width, etc?

white_glass_top

wherere did u get the x pipe from, is it avialable online or u did a local purchase??

racetested

yxc145 bought his from this place and had it installed locally. http://www.mandrelbendingsolutions.c.../Detail?no=444

The description says "The result is a significant increase in power and torque." Have you noticed any?

yxc145

Yes, It fits good. The shop guy only needed to adjust the front end a little to make it fit.
Center to Center of Pipes: 5"
Overall Length: 18.5"

I think for a perfect fit. The center to center of pipe could be 4.5".
But, maybe each car is different slightly. I think as long as it's in between 4.5 to 5". It will be ok.

Racetested reposted the link to the shop I bought it from. You can order it online. They actually make to order. you order, they make and ship out the same day. What I got is the standard size, if you want the width to be a bit smaller, you should call in to request it and they will most likely do it for you.

Here is a picture of our STOCK resonator. As you can see, it is not restricted at all. I think the description is for cars with restrictive resonator. BUT, i do feel a little difference. A LITTLE. It could be psychological..... mental thing? i am not sure.

Spec_Davis

looks like there is no screen in the middle or a filter..... hmmm i have to decide whether to get one or not.
