Had the Jegs 3" X on my car for a couple yrs... Fitment was great, but alot of that depends on how good your exhaust shop is... It was however pretty raspy & that was with full sized Mac flowpath mufflers... Cut it out and replaced with an H pipe.. Sounds alot better, no difference in performance and no more rasp.

The Jeg's X-pipe comes in 5 pieces, the main "X" and 4 legs that are bent "about" 45° and have one leg a few inches longer than the other. If you can't that to fit... Here's a pic of the Jeg's setup in my Mav.

It seems to me its made for a truck or something. It will tuck if you make it tuck. Its not a direct bolt in kit by any means.

I used a summit one to build my exhaust plus a 3" u bend and a little extra pipe, it tucks real nice but that is because I made it tuck. It's far from a bolt on kit.
