Default What about this x-pipe

i just got my long tubes in the mail and i need a short mid pipe now. i found this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...TODAY.m238.lVI. I asked the guy what brand it was and he said that he makes it which makes me skeptical but the price is so right, $60 new. would you guys use it or no?

I think it looks good. Pipe is pipe, and if the price is right......

it depends.....what style end do your headers have?? the three bolt old school flange or the ball and socket type?? if your headers are the 3 bolt style and the x-pipe is ball and socket then you'll need to cut the ends and weld on the proper ends

hmm these are the headers, http://store.summitracing.com/partde...p;autoview=sku

its says they are 2 bolt flange, and that x pipe also looks like a 2 bolt doesnt it? for less that $60 with shipping i think im gunna try it, and spray it with something to protect it from rust.

Don't buy that. i bought a catted X from the same people off Ebay and it didn't fit without cutting and welding, i sent that POS back. Got the BBk one and it fits great
