Default X pipe

So, I’m back after the year from hell! I went through a nasty deployment and an even nastier divorce. My baby sat in a garage and collected dust for about a year. Well, it’s time to change all that! I broke her out for the first time this week and I had forgotten about the sheer bliss of a blown Stang. The mod bug has bitten me square in the *** again. I think my next investment will be an OR X pipe. Any suggestions on brand? I have the stock exhaust manifold and Magnapacks catback. I just moved to MN… so, is an OR X pipe legal? Wonder if any shops will install it… Thanks a ton! It’s nice to be back!!

After all was said and done, it cost about 7k. I did the work myself at a Navy auto hobby shot. It took about a week to do, but was hardly a difficult install.

The KB is amazing! I got the flip-chip so I can run pump gas or high octane goodness. It's a heck of alot of torgue across the RPM spectrum. The only bad thing I can say about is that it makes a nice wine that screams "pull up next to me and rev your rice".

Welcome home! Glad to hear your ex didn't take your stang. Sounds like you've decided on a prochamber. Good choice. I have a VRS o/r x-pipe and I love it. No sound clips though.

This is the best sounding midpipe (MRT catted H) with the Magnapacks, in my opinion at least. Check it out : http://s35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...agnapacks3.flv
