Default X pipe install

Does anyone have a good link for an x pipe install?
I've been looking all afternoon. I'm just curious if I have to cut my stock Ti exhaust, or if the Magnaflow, Bassani, Corsa units are bolt in. :confused:

Thanks in advance. Back from Iraq and spending time on the car before reporting to Korea for the next year :rolleyes:

Try Random Technology. Ask for Clay. I think they make units that are direct fis for either stock or headers.

I just did an X-pipe install not too long ago and you won't need to cut anything on the cat-back section. You will need to cut your H-pipe section
after the cats. Then you slide the X-pipe section over the stock pipes right after the cats. It is a slip-fit deal that you use muffler clamps to hold together.

Good luck :flag

They should all be about the same, just a different length. Here are the SLP instructions.

This is a good install/test article on the Magnaflow x-pipe.
