Default What X-Pipe is this??

I just won an auction for a 99-04 x-pipe with mil eliminators;
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ME:X:RTQ:US:11
Unfortunantly the seller doesnt remember the brand of the x-pipe or mil eliminators, I can tell that the x pipe is not pypes or bassani...is it maybe a upr, bbk?? Thanks!

Thanks to all that replied! I am not too concerned with the brand as long as it fits nicely. Does anyone know what type of mil-eliminators these are? It seems that both steeda and bbk used a black outer coating, not sure what these are. Any advice about installing a x-pipe?

ORIGINAL: kylebgtAny advice about installing a x-pipe?
lift is easiest, but if you dont have access to one jackstandswill work i guess(just makes it suck to doit on your back). youll need a ratchet with a good sized extension and a swivel head. i forget the bolt size but youll figure that out.the drivers side is easy to get off the passenger side is a PAIN (thats the one u need a good sized extension and swivel head for). most ppl spray the nuts down with some whatever it is that will loosen the threads. it took me a breaker bar man handling the wrench to get the nuts to finally break i didnt use anything. get a friend to help you put it in also (or a jack to support the xpipe when you go to install it cause theres no hangers, it will be hard for you to try to hold it steady and tighten it in).

Do yourself a huge favor and go to the store and get a penetrating oil, such as PB Blaster. Jack the car up, place it on jack stands, as high as you can go (be sure to put something behind the rear tires, and put your e-brake on [if manual]). Get under the car and soak all the bolts with the PB Blaster. Let it soak in for a few minutes as you get everything ready to go. Get a 15mm socket, place that on a universal swivel joint, and then attach that to an extension, then finally to the breaker bar. Get the socket securely on the bolts and get them all loose, then use a ratchet. Take out the O2 sensors, they have clips (it is easier to take them out when the stock pipe is not attached to the car anymore. Reverse the process to get it back together. Make sure you put a new gasket on the passenger side, you can pick one up at Ford for about $10 (an auto parts store may have one for cheaper). It helps if you have a friend during this process, but you can do it by yourself it you absolutely have to.
Good luck, you're going to love it when you are done.
