Everything on my car was custom made right there in the shop, including the x-pipe, so I couldn't give you a name brand. But here are some pics. And the only comments I have to say is, go for it. Definitely one of the best mods I ever did.

your xpipe looks great. only problem I see. is that where you have them mounted. the back seat belts. mine actually pulled through the floor. but I used a summit kit. and just had an exhaust shop weld it up for me.

1FST00Z is right. Change the hangers asap or you will have serious issues later on with the anchor plates coming loose, etc...

When you just run a a dumped exhaust pipe, you lose back pressure, but gain more top end correct?
