Seeing that it is a universal kit, was it a "plug and play" welding job or did you require extra piping to make it fit?

I'm actually looking to do this mod myself. Is this the correct kit to get? http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/02xpipekits.asp

i agree.........the shop i went to did a great job in making sure the x pipe is removable if need so. the x pipe i used is the " universal x pipe " from magnaflow, which i highly recommend.

No need for full pipe kit. Just the Tru-X section with 2.25 openings.

For everyone that has installed the X-pipe: Do you notice at around 4500 RPM that the exhaust tone completly changes and the car really screams? I really like the exhaust note under 4000 but it sounds to trumphety or "blatty" above 4000-4500 RPM.
Anyone have any knowledge on how are valve timing is handled? This kinda reminds me of my friends 94' V-Tech Prelude. It would sound like a totally different car when the valves switched into high RPM mode.

i was just at a mineki shop and the guy wanted to charge me $180 (includes labor) for just running 2 straight pipes instead of the x-pipe.....anyone have just straights instead of the x-pipe? is there anything wrong with doing that and is that a good price for the work?

Another thing, the length of the x-pipe is shorter than the length of the resonator so your muffler shop will need to attach straight pipe extenders to the end to bridge the length. Not a big deal, but just be aware.
