Ive heard it in person. I was sitting on the curb out at one of the car meets, and the guy started his car, then revved it. Long story short, it cleared my throat for me. LITTERALLY. Its upthere as one of the sweetest things that ever happened to me. If your able to do, go for it. There are a lot of highway patrols out on our side of town, so watch out. They will give you a ticket withought thinking twice.

Yah, the x pipe is nice sounding. I get a lot of compliments from people because they like the sound of my car. It's kinda on the noisy side for daily driving, but everyone has different limits for what they can tolerate.

I also have the hooker lt's xpipe and spintech mufflers, I have gotten compliments everywhere on this setup. At the carwash, work, I even had someone roll down there window to tell me how good it sounded when I was in the turn lane just idling next to them. True duals with xpipe was maybe the best mod I have done yet to the car.
