Of course not!... I don't think AmericanICON and I would have made threads if we didn't want to share

Great job!!! I'm on my second setup getting some GTA's configured, but if they don't satisfy me, I'm definitely going in your direction!

You think it will sound as good? Cuz I hear that H-Pipes sound better than the X, but X is more performance..

That is true, but it will still sound good, and there's not a huge disparity in tone between the two.

I believe magnapacks mufflers are 14" in length as opposed to my 22"

It's a lot louder... You should ask rygenstormlocke because he used to use the magnapacks aka magna-drones

Yup mine is currently in its 4'th iteration and I am very happy with it some drone on the freeway but really only around 1800-2000ish RPM anything below or above its very minimal and most people think it's an 8 so I'm happy

Congrats to the OP thats a nice setup&getting on it sounded good I like your car's look aswell great job!
