X-Pipe install

All -

I see guys here buying X-pipes for over $500 for two pipes. Crazy.

I bought a x-pipe for my 2017 for $200 off ebay. It fit and there was no issues.

Why in the hell would you pay more for two pipes?

Because nobody is making them anymore because the EPA is clamping down on the manufacturers , Borla was first , AWE was 2nd , who is next .... ?

I’d like to know what it’s made of to be so cheap. Glad to hear it fit well. Many aren’t that lucky trying to save a few bucks.

The manzo eBay pipe was one of the first Borla replacement x pipes and was an all time favorite

Yep, it was a Manzo.

It was 100% stainless steel. It came with clamps, but I went to Autozone and got donut gaskets.

I was impressed.

Honestly for me, 400 bucks for a known commodity vs 200 for an unknown was worth the peace of mind, I do get your point though.

i love my awe xpipe and could not have been happier
