Default Magnaflow Catted X

I know this is beat to death but there are literally thousands of x pipe threads out there....

What kind of realistic gains would I be looking at by going with the catted magnaflow x system?

http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/s...an&id=1054

Anyone know why direct from Magnaflow the system is $1400 whereas summitt sells the same part number for $449?

I've heard x-pipes sound like crap with flows, anyone care to tell me how crappy?

Something has to be wrong on that site. There's no way that X-pipe is $1500. Just get the splice-in X-pipe by Pypes-----at Brenspeed for $90.

the small HP gains aren't even worth mentioning. it will be noticably louder though.

you might also want to look into the Bassani catted X-Pipe. the cats are smaller, thus a couple additional ponies and even more sound (pretty loud actually).

i installed mine for sound alone. i understand the stock cats flow well, so if you're looking for HP - theres not much to tap from the exhaust other than from LTs.
