I knew it too. But he was good at seducing me into taking it in the rear. Fed me some bull**** about it would have only been $85 to install, but since I need extender pipes about 4" each, (8" total) that each 4" section would be $40 in aluminum or $95 in stainless steel, and upsold me on the stainless steel... He is no longer going to get any of my business or of my friends...

All in all this x-pipe mod should be at most $200 and not for nothing I felt it was probably the best $200 I got for my ride since I luuv the way it sounds now especially in the higher RPMs range

Just the sound. Some report loss of low end torque but HP gains in the high end.

sorry to rain on your cognitive dissonance parade but what the the hell does that mean?

if the change is very very slight, and you only feel a very very slight change that is barely noticeable, are you sure that there was even ANY change in the first place?

sounds like you're blowing smoke up your own ****!
