Please dont be ******* the x flow combo. Most of the people that say its trash havnt heard one. I Absolutely love it. I got it put on the same time as the shorties and hi flow cats, so i dont think yours will sounds as free flowing. The tone is heavenly. I definately reccomend it.

$200 for a bassani x-pipe?!?!?! That's a gift, my friend. I said $450 as a cheap discount price--the MSRP is somewhere in the $600s. Are you sure it's a bassani and not another generic x-pipe? In any event, get yourself that x-pipe--your car will thank you for it. No contest.

Haha ya true i was wondering why it was so cheap my self its not a bassani but just a regular x-pipe but the x-pipe that i was lookin at is alittle over $200 ...i looked up the bassanis and they are a little expensive so i may just get a dif. one .....but even though its kinda of a knock off would you still recommend the x-pipe...and would it still sounds good with the flows on the end of it

Bassani are expensive because their cats last pretty much for ever, and the steel is titanium forged--all a bunch of fluff to a street hot-rodder. I was lucky to find one in the junkyard and buy it for the price of stock. LOL. Just make sure that the pipe fittings are strong, and that there are no leaks--other than that, you're good to go.

And yes, it is definitely worth it. Barring the pipe being 2 inches in diameter or less, I'd say get it, jump at the chance, do it. You won't regret it. What are you doing about cats?

Do you have any sound clips of what your car sounds like? I was thinking of getting an x and already have flows and want to see what it will sound like.

It would sound crappy with the Flowmasters, believe me I learned my lesson. it will sound like a bunch of coins in a glass.......I had to ditch my flows and got a set of Spintech mufflers and now it sounds mean....and I am running an O/R Xpipe (magnaflow) and have a dual catted x-pipe as reserve just in case
