Default summit racing x-pipe or pypes

im going to get an x-pipe and have seen a bunch of people complain about the pypes. so has anybody heard anything about the summit racing one? and would they sound any different?

Nope, an X is an X!
I had the Summit O/R H and it was decent

Ive had my x pipe for just a few days. No check engine light and its an o/r. If it does go on, just buy some MIL eliminators from american muscle or wherever you can find them for around $70 bucks. Also, DO NOT even attempt to install it yourself unless you have a lift and some backround in exhaust. Spend the money and let an exhaust shop install it for you. I spent my entire weekend installing it, only to have a ton of leaks, stripped o2 sensors, and an annoying sounding car for a few days. They have to modify the exhaust studs in order to get proper seal on the left manifold. Just a little fyi from someone who just did this last week. They do sound pretty good after though. BTW, sorry for the ranting.

The Summit X pipe has good fitment.
Avoid the Pypes X pipe like the plauge.
I personally know two different people that had the fitment
problems with the Pypes X pipe.
They will probably sound the same.
My Magnaflow X pipe fit like a glove and the quality is excellent.

got the x-pipe on through a muffler shop. 40 bucks for no leaks is ok with me.. i went with the summit racing one and it sounds pretty damn good but the only thing is i think they sent me one that was f***** up in manufacturing because my right tailpipe sticks out about one centimeter further than the left. ya nobody can tell but me as my dad says but its gonna bother the **** out of me
