Default X-pipe question

for all those who have bought x-pipes, there is not much room in the tunnel, where did you get your x-pipe from?

Kimmer, I don't know yet, I installed it and it sounded great but the flowmaster 40s that were on it when I bought it still droned horribly, so I bought the dynomaxVT mufflers for it, installed them today, and I am not sure if I am happy. The drone is deffinitly gone but it is now not much louder than stock. So I am considering the idea of going to a X instead of the resonator. I am going to run as is for a couple of weeks before I decide for sure. I know I will not be able to go much louder than it is now or some drone will return, and quite frankly I cannot live with Drone. I drive it daily to work and that means 70 miles per hour on the freeway in 6th gear. With the flowmasters it gave me a headache and I could not even talk in the car with the drone..... so as much as I love exaust note I need to be drone free..... Now I can actually hear the engine sound..... Who knows I will give it a week or two. If I do opt to remove the resonator in favor of a X and decide to live with it I can send you back the resonator if you need it.

No, don't need it back. I went with the X pipe and no mufflers and I like it but it's not my dd. Just my fun and autox car.
