Default X pipe installed

Just got my X pipe installed after everyone told me it's a good idea and to help lower the resonance of the borlas. Did a great job, no more popping, and 50% of the resonance is gone! Got it done in fairfield with a true X pipe and install for $130, making this a great mod for the money.

Cheapest deal i've found, the guys were good with the car too, they built up 2x8's so my lowered car didn't scrape anywhere. PM me and i'll send you the shop's name.

If u believe or not.I`ve paid only $20.00 for having installed my X-Pipe.And also before when they installed my borla they only charged $100.00.It`s a place in Arlington Texas.Now u can`t beat that.

Congrats. An X-pipe made a big difference in how my car sounded too.
