X-pipe kit or custom x? Okay so I was going to buy summits 3" universal x-pipe kit and have the shop cut it up and put it on my car but my friend says I can just go to the shop and they will build me a custom x and true duals. Which option would be better? and more cost friendly? Supposively he is giving me a really good deal on the labor

yeah ill have to wait till mid january to get my spohn torque arm and then i'll get my exhaust all fabbed up. For now its headers w/ my powersticks clamped onto the collector but I just want to figure out if I should buy a summit x pipe kit and have the shop go off of that or just have the shop do it full custom
Here's what I went with...I have a Spohn cross brace mounted TA with 2 DS loops..It's all custom work and was worth every penny...These pix are old...Now I have it routed out of the sides behind the doors, but back cut under the car a couple of inches...

Not that big a deal, most likely "wost case" scenerio is that I have to change my tranny mount sooner...which only takes all of 10 mins.
I used the Magnaflow 3" X pipe - it is a work of art. I doubt there will be a noticable difference between brands though, but a hacked together custom one made from piping will not transition as smoothly as a nice aftermarket one.

Here is what I was thinking about doing exactly in this order.....mac mid tube headers, magnaflow cats, x-pipe, bullet mufflers dump before axle. Do you see any horsepower loss or issues....remember im from CA

well w/ mids and cats theres not really a reason to go w/ true duals besides sound. you wont gain any power over a catback system which would be easier to put together. now back on topic!
btw would it be ok to just band clamp my powersticks onto my collectors until i get my torque arm installed?
