my only concern is am I going to lose horsepower or torque?? and if so how much??? Would i notice the change? Last of all is it worth it if I do lose the power??

A good muffler shop that carry MagnaFlow parts should be able to get an X-Pipe for you, they might even have one in stock. the shop I took my car to in Miami had the X-pipe in stock...

You only have one resonator in the system. It brings both exhaust streams together and effectively merges the combustion pulses from each seperate bank's exhaust to make one balanced smoother flowing exhaust then splits them again...for looks mostly. I doubt adding an x-pipe will affect performance much as our resonator is pretty wide open as it is. With that said, it is hard to know how much the baffling on the inside walls of our resonator disrupts the exhaust flow so, depending on x-pipe design, you may get some improvement. You also will get more of a raw exhaust sound. I personally decided not to go with the x-pipe as I want a deeper but not raspier sound.

350 brings the sound closer to a 350Z or G37.
