X-pipe borla
Ok...So i am not sure whats under my car yet...I know I have the old SLP loudmouths, but i am not sure whats in front of that yet, as I havent gotten to look under my car yet.
If there is nothing other than the SLP exhaust, would picking up a borla x-pipe for 100$ that I have access to be a good thing?

This has been discussed many times. The second half of this thread is one such example:

Long story short: a x-pipe will slightly decrease back pressure and smooth out the exhaust note on deceleration. But if your primary goal is more power, save your cash for other mods.

Can you do the install yourself? It requires cutting the h pipe and clamping the new x pipe in. I did one on my old 02 z. Bought for $80. I liked the new exhaust note so it was worth it to me. Cheap mod and a little time away from the wife. I wouldn't have bought it if I had to pay a shop to put it in.
