Default Xhaust ?

I noticed that I have a stainless cross pipe (X Pipe) on my 2003. I was wondering if this is stock or after market. I bought this vehicle used and the guy I bought from knew nothing about it except how to crank it. Do they come stock with an X pipe?

It's aftermarket as the car came with a H-Pipe.

The factory H-pipe is also one piece from the exhaust manifolds back to the muffler pipe flanges.

Your aftermarket pipe is probably clamped or welded to the factory front pipe sections.

Thanks for the replies I need to get back under and take another look to try and see what is really there. I just noticed it briefly when I bought the car and said to myself "wow it comes with a factory X pipe."
