I got the cheap shortie headers off of ebay and i havent had a problem with em

oh and i think that an x pipe makes it sound more smooth and "european" sounding i guess lol, and an h pipe sounds more rough.

i have an offroad h pipe and i love the sound of it. but you prolly couldnt pass the emisions test with an offroad h/x pipe (not posative about that). plus its a big fine if your caught without them.

so now after doing so research on price difference needed with the new mid pipe, and reading about the difficulty of installation, is the difference in price and installation worth it? what is the difference in performance to justify the difference in price and difficulty?
