Default BBK X pipe for 03 Cobra?

I have searched high and low for any information regarding opinions on the BBK X pipe for my car.... The most common X pipes are Bassani or Magnaflow that I can find. Does anyone know anything about the BBK? I almost purchased one over the weekend just did not because I could not find any info on them. This is an off road un-catted pipe and the description states that it fits 2v/4v. I am going to be replacing the infamous TOB/ TOB retainer sleeve this coming weekend and since the stock H pipe is going to be off I would rather just throw a new X pipe on there. Any thoughts are appreciated.

I'd suggest anything stainless. You'll be glad in the long run. The cheaper stuff is steel or coated steel and will rust.

Bassani, Magnaflow, MRT all make good quality products.
I chose a bassani catted X because it has the metalic substrate high flow cats, they wont clog or break down like the ceramic internal cats. You only lose 10hp with high flow cats and you're legal too. No hassels in getting inspections and nasty fumes from the non catted exhaust.

Alot of people have had fitment and quality issues with the BBK X pipe.
If you want a nice X pipe get the Magnaflow X pipe it fits like a glove
and has excellent quality.

I guess this is why I cannot find too many people that run the BBK then, huh? Thanks for the input.

On my slow set up, I was running that catted xpipe as well, and I, too, LOVED it!
