CTS-V Mod help I bought a 2005 CTS-V last week and I am looking to do the basic bang for your buck mods.
The two mods that are showing the best gains are;
1) MorePerformance CAK (which I purchased and installed).
2) X-Pipe.
Has anyone made a X-Pipe for the V? or can I use one designed for another car?
Are there any mods I am missing?
Thanks in advance.

How much did you pay for the Maganaflow?
I got a response from MTI;
$199.00 for the version that welds into the stock intermediate pipe and $279.00 for the version that attaches to aftermarket headers and then into the stock intermediate pipe.

This is the cheapest I could find the Magnaflow Stainless Steel X-Pipe;
http://www.troyerperformance.com/cgi...atalogno=10791
Is $65.95 a good price?
Just a tad bit cheaper than MTI
Thanks a bunch for the help!

WrkCar can you explain a little more how it feels and sounds?
Do you feel a vibration underneath or do you just hear it coming out the exhaust in the back?
How is the noise inside driving normal? I don't care about it being loud on WOT.
Would you say it sounds the same as taking off cats and using an Off Road Y-Pipe?
While I don't mind the performance I don't want it too loud inside.

WrkCar thanks so much for your help you have me sold. People are getting some serious rwhp from this simple mod (15-20rwhp) but noise inside was my concern. I went ahead and ordered it ground and hopefully it will be in Friday so I can swing by the muffler shop and get it installed for the July 4th trip to see family
