Default X pipe ?

Ready to install stingers this weekend, is it worth the extra $ to go with an X pipe. Corsa, Magnaflow or Bassani? :confused:

If it were me, I would install the Stingers and drive it for a week to see how you like them. In addition, I would widen the hole in the H-pipe to see what that does to the sound. That just might do it for you. If they are still to loud, the next step would be to install an X-pipe. I prefer the Magnaflow but either one should work. If they are still to loud you can always trade them for another system.

:cheers:

You got to do it. Forget about expanding the opening in the H-pipe that would be a waste of time and money. Go with the xpipe and get on with it. You will love the difference in the sound and never look back on the decision.
