Does anyone have experience w/ this x-pipe? Is this x-pipe just as good as any others such as tsp, etc?

Speed Inc
X-Pipe Race Exhaust
This kit includes the necessary components to build a true dual, X-pipe RACE exhaust system that ends at the rear axle. This kit requires some fabrication and welding, so we would recommend professional installation.

Includes:
-Mandrel bent 3" aluminuzed tubing w/3" X-pipe
-Additional 90* bend which will allow installation with most Long tubes
-Race Magnum 3" Bullet mufflers, pair
-Pair of universal exhaust hangers

I'm only using their x pipe though, w/ st mufflers.

$230 is pretty cheap. I'd say go for it since your not even gonna use the mufflers. I paid $419 shipped for my TSP setup. I'd like to see what the SPeed x-pipe looks like on a car though. mine fits nice. I dropped the trans out little while ago and didn't even have to drop the exhaust, lot better than my SLP Y-pipe I had.

here's a pic on the lift of my tsp setup w/ SLP long tubes, dyno max mufflers.

I'm not sure if it's the same x-pipe they use on there custom setup. I have there 3in custom setup dumped and think they did a great job with it very happy with it. Reason i didn't go with tsp is they wouldn't work with my headers which are flp. Speed did my setup where i can still use my clamps.
