I would hope yours would not cost that much since you'll only be offering the X-pipe. If you'll look again @ the link I posted it included other piping as well, plus it's 304 grade stainless steal. What grade of S.S. will you be using ???
I give you for working towards bringing a c-4 after market in to existence, I only hope it's as good if not better then whats already out there.........

Thanks... I appreciate the support. My piece is aluminized mild steel (same as oem, for ease of welding and lower cost). Street price hopefully will come in right around $100 or so, but there are some other factors (not at my end) affecting the cost, so I don't want to promise one thing and deliver another. That's the reason for no set pricing as of yet.

It sounds like the X-Pipe is going to be a great deal!!

Any chance of an X-Pipe/Magnaflow muffler package?

I have the B&B 3" system and it is too quiet for me. It's the newer version which reduced some of the resonance. My system is, as everyone knows, S/S. Will you be able to produce an X-pipe in S/S 3"?
I'd like to replace the B&B resonater with an X-pipe, but in S/S. If everything goes well, how about offering X-pipes for Corsa, B&B and other aftermarket systems?

The factory systems are stainless. I don't know the grade, certainly not 304, but they are indeed stainless.

I believe the factory systems are a 40x (maybe 409) stainless steel.

Racer,
Will installing your x-pipe, along a a Magnaflow exhaust, requiring any cutting of the stock system? I'm very interested in this setup, but need to be able to return it back to stock. Thanks for your efforts!

Default None in yet...

Still waiting... I should have already had them by now. Hafta see what excuse I'm given this time around. After these pieces are made, that's it... too many hoops to jump through.
