I bought a BBK X-pipe and it matched well with my stock headers and matches well with my BBK shorties. Fits real nice and tucks very well also.

What kind of mufflers are you running? I just bought a bbk X to go with my american thunder catback. Wondering what it sounds like.

I'm running the same as you. I like the sound, I would post up an exhaust vid but every time I try to get one the audio sounds terrible. It sounds racey. Not very deep, but I think it has a good sound to it.

This is the only one I got, but like I said the camera audio pick up is awful

I forgot why I took that video and I remember now. It only has one tailpipe on it, on the left side cause the other one had a bad weld and slipped off. So I don't know if that's a real good representation... It amplified the crackling and volume alot tho. Sounds sorta similar with both tails. I would take a new vid but its all snowy out and that ***** cold man!

Haha, Yes I did...Which is why I had no problem with cutting my bumper for the exhaust pipes. I was going to go with a cobra bumper, but now I kinda like the looks of the regular GT bumper again. So who knows, but yea, the guy who owned it before my mom bought it in 90 used to tow his boat with it.
