Wow it sure does look nice!! Heavy price tag though. I wonder if it performs better than the LG Big 3

Looks nice for sure, but good grief I would have hoped for titanium for that price! Even the Burns Stainless system for C6's is $250 less.. I like the small print below that it will only connect to their mid-pipe. Assume that's due to the 3" connection. I feel like i'm in the wrong business if those sell for full price.

Isn't 3" the new 2.5" anyway? And 3.5" the new 3"?

talked to them and they said its definitely cheaper getting it through a vendor. i'm sure it will be on par with the competition. its a flow through design with a U at the end that does not reduce.

That's awesome. I looked on you tube and found it on a mustang and a camaro.

Sounded mild. Not too loud or too quiet.

Looks very similar to thee LG big 3 which is MUCH cheaper. I think I would stick with LG... XS Power is a little over half the cost of the LG big 3 and probably flows similar. They all neck down to 2-2.25" inside the muffler and make the 180 bend.

My lg dumps full 3" into the back chamber and full 3" back out. The tubes are perforated also. Not sure how restrictive it is to dump the pipe into the rear chamber and make it flow back into a 3" tube (I suspect somewhat) but I've seen gains on the over straight through stinger style 2.5" systems. I think I might mess with it at some point. Has anyone made huge power through the LG system on a turbo application?
