Hope this works for you and I look forward to hearing your results. That being said, here is my concerns.
1. Its 2.5 in. so you will need to adapt the 2.75 pipe to fit. That in itself is not that big of a deal. Its under the car and cannot be seen anyways.
2. According to a site I found they give the Dimensions (in): 12.8 x 7.8 x 3.5 Now when I measuered my stock resonator, the pipes are 6.25 in from outside to outside. That means there is only .75 in width between the factory pipes. The x pipe is 2.8 in. between pipes. So you are going to have to adjust for that in your adapter pipes. That IMO is going to be the hard part, especially without the help of an exhaust shop.
Although I am running a stock exhaust, If I was going to take the resonator out, I would consider straight pipes, and then put a connector in between to make a H pipe. I just don't believe it will be worth the work to get a x pipe in there and not change out the rest of the piping.
But I hope I am wrong and look forward to your results.
BTW here is the link where I found dimensions. http://shop.madisoncarlot.com/auto-1...ed_X_Pipe.html

You need a narrow x-pipe to work in the tunnel.

It is going to a shop to be installed. Well have to wait until it arrives, if it measures the same as the flow monster then I can't see it not fitting into the car.

look forward to your report, hopefully with pictures!! If you have any questions concerning measurements of the factory resonator piping etc, I have a system off of the car I can measure for you.

If you still have the exhaust system off the car I have a few measurements for you. the width at the farthest part is 7 1/4. The widest part on the pipes are 6 3/4 and the center parts at the pipe is 4 1/2. The measurement between the two pipes is 1 3/8.

thanks

This is what my stock exhaust sounded like with a flowmonster 3" X-Pipe and dual stainless tips. Everything else on the car was stock. I am sure BucfanTitan's sounds the same.

Yes 93 the exhaust is stock. Only thing out was the resonator.

I will try to get something on the youtube the week to show everyone. But the 94 sounds like it might have some more rumble then mine.

Curious where you had your exhaust work done?

I had mine done at R&L MUffler on Drew Street in Clearwater. Paul is meticulous with pipe alignment and a magician with a welder.
