Default X pipe opinion?

I have a 95 with Magnaflows on it, my local muffler shop will install a flowmaster X pipe, remove the clamps from the current mufflers and weld everything in for $170.

Can I get some opinions ot this, as to if this it to much and will there be any difference with the x pipe in the way the car runs? I know there are several threads on this, but almost all of them are with mods on the motor.

The exhaust is all that has been changed on this car, and I dont plan on doing any motor mods for quite a bit as the car has only 19k miles on it.

Thanks in Advance

Even on a stock motor, it will help with resonance....

My muffler shop charged me $40 to install just the X Pipe in place of the resonator. So.........I love my x-pipe.

Had the work done today, no real difference in the sound, but by seat of the pants the car seems to pull much harder in second and third...

$40 I wish....they wont even pull one in the garage for that around here.......
