Default Got my X on! Vid inside!

Well I bolted up my Pypes O/R X today. The install was going smoothly, didn't need the a gasket, 02's were cake, but then the header pipe absolutely would not fit into the x portion on the passenger side. After a lot of fighting with it in my garage I wound up driving the car (with open headers) to my friend's garage where we widened it a bit and got it bolted up within 15 minutes. Never driven a car that loud, haha.

I'm VERY happy with it. It's nice and rumbly down low and it builds to a scream at WOT. I did notice a slight drop off in low end power but definitely picked up some power up top (around 4.5k+). It's also insanely loud!

Here's a quick vid literally right after we backed the car out, so no startup or any driving. I'll have those within the next couple days for any of you considering this setup.

seems every install runs into 1 snag or another. nice work bro. like you, I also noticed a slight drop in the low end w/ the o/r midpipe. to combat this I raised my launching rpms at the track. midpipe is a definate wake up call tho, much much more than a catback. the only improvement over it is long tubes, but then the decrease in the low end is noticeable enough to have to get gears. sounds good man.
