Default X-Pipe

Is there anywhere to get an x-pipe setup pre-fabbed? I can't find a friendly exhaust shop around here..

Dr. Gas kit.. can't beat it.. drgas.com

You can get the kit for about 210 shipped, mufflers for about 100... thats $310.. then labor can be $100-$150.. or you can do much if yourself and have an x-pipe kit for under $400 installed.

I think I'm gonna dump em, what exactly are you asking? If I'd like out the back? If so yes, if it wasn't such a pain.

I used a Stainless Works when I fabricated my 3" exhaust and it works great! Forgive my welds, this is the first time I used a MIG for 304 SS.

SSh, that looks great to me! Nice picture, and the welds look at least as good as the ones I do! So is that tubing from a Stainlless Works kit? Where do I get some tubes like those? Also, did you put stainless wire in your MIG, or just use the normal stuff?

I have to compliment you on the underside of your car. That is by far the cleanest I have ever seen a car underneath. The setup must sound amazing too, I haven't seen a borla setup like that before. I was thinking of doing the same setup only with flowmaster 40 series on there.

SSh, What's the car sound like inside the cabin with those mufflers? I'm trying to find a true dual setup that has very little to no interior resonance.

He got the piping from Stainless Steel Works as individual parts (not a kit) for about $500 and welded it all up himself. Also, this if not and Fbody and has more room underneath than your Z28.
