Well majority on this forum have X-Pipes. I too am getting an X-Pipe. You could try with straight pipes but they have a popping sound sometimes on high RPMs. Besides that X-Pipes are way smoother!

Try a search on this topic as almost every possible configuration has been discussed.
I tried straight pipes and believe me, it sounds like total $h!t...I would never, ever recommend it for these cars. I like the sound of my x-pipe so you may want to give it a try.

I checked out the website because I too am looking to install the x-pipe but it seems a bit too cheap. It says here thats its about $83 and it sounds like a fake. Is that the normal price or are there other things that I have to buy along with it. How much would the installation cost???

I wouldn't mess with the cats as that has the potential to open you up to warranty claim denials.

Maybe an H pipe if you are really pushing for more noise. I don't think anyone on here has tried it but it should be somewhere between the annoyingly loud and poppy straight pipes and the mellower X.

Nope, it wouldn't mess up your warranty. But you'll have to go through the whole process of cutting the resonator off and welding on the X-Pipe yourself. Besides that if its not welded on properly, there would be popping noises and cause exhaust gasses to leak which would cause problems with back compression. Still if you think you're a pro at it, go ahead!
The X-Pipe is really quite simple so 83$ is not so cheap./QUOTE]
Would installing it myself mess with the warranty???

Either you buy a nice X pipe @ magnaflow or just go to a muffler shop and make them do it..... Thay can fabricate it over there and it can cost u cheaper and you'll get the same result and the same quality...
I did mine for 80$ and the guy fabricated it in front of me and it looked exactly the same and wow!!! A++ quality.... just go to a professional and they will know what to do!.... OH by the Way!!!! Don't tell him they sell the PART!!! and if you do .. tell him that is like 40$... so that way he makes a fair price
By the way... do the XPIPE... if u do a straight... there's some kind of a burbly sound and that's because there's no acoustic and no backpressure since it's straight flow... and it resonates in the stock muffler...
Good luck!
