MBH XPIPE only? Work with stock headers and mufflers?

I'm looking on MBH website and it says their xpipe only works with their mid and headers, is this true?

Can you run the MBH xpipe with everything else stock on the car? Just run the xpipe, deleted secondaries and deleted resonator I'm assuming is what the xpipe does?

Also, does anyone have this setup? Any vids and pics of the install?

Thank you all,

On the MBH website, it states that their Xpipe only works with their mids and their headers.

But I'm willing to bet a good muffler shop can make it work... probably not the direct answer you're looking for but just my initial thoughts.

I'm sure a member has done this on here, maybe they'll chime in.

Or hell, maybe that MBH rep will chime in...

You could also just call and ask on Monday, if their customer service is good , you'll have the answer you need immediately.

If you go to the MBH website there is a picture of C63 X-Pipe in a window by itself under Featured Products on the home page. I believe it works with OEM pipes and replaces the secondary cats.

Their websites specifically says that the x-pipe only works with their headers and not stock.

Only works with our headers and Mid-section. NOT OEM

Overpriced and it's just an Xpipe. There are at least two shops near me that do exceptional work and it'll cost less than half of what the big brands charge for an X.

On that, I think an Xpipe in place of secondaries and deleted resonator with straights is the best sound for the C63.

Any video clips of cold start, drive bys, WOT runs? I'd love to hear this as that is the setup I am going for with the car. Any without the headers and just the C and deleted resonator into Oem mufflers and then others with long tubes added? I'm going for X and deleted res first before long tubes.

a few years ago, I was running the MBH x pipe in place of a resonator and secondary cat delete. if I'm not mistaken, when they say it only works with their midsection thats only for it to be "bolt on" mine was cut and welded to the oem.
