Installed the MAK Performance off-road X-pipe tonight! The swap was fairly painless...actually,getting off factory pipe was harder than install of new one. Also, i did it at night with just Ramps,by myself! TIPS: Raise car up as high as you can or use lift,get a buddy to give you a hand with wiggling old one out,and last but not least....let the car COOL DOWN,before removing...LOL. I am so impatient! Had to drive car to garage to install...and couldn't wait to get into it...needless to say,i burned the poo outta my arms....LOL. Back to the pipe. The Mak pipe,is lighter,and really easy to install. It comes as a two piece unit. Fits the car perfectly! The sound is hella louder! I have Jba axle backs...and boy did this pipe make it them sing! They are calm when just cruising along...but when you nail it...wow..you will get the policemans attention! As far as power gains go...i havent even installed the Predator yet..which will make this even better,and let me tell you...you WILL notice a difference! My car went from barely a spin of the tires to spinning into 2nd gear from a standstill,and chirps the tires on a good 2-3 shift! I have an Auto,with only a few hundred miles on it...only have h/c trap removed. No CAI,no tune (yet),no gears,no underdrive pullies installed yet...and already the car rocks! I feel that for 199.00 bucks,it was well worth it! I would have to reccomend this pipe for good bang for the buck! Seeing how i cannot post sound file for you guys...the best way to describe the sound is that it sounds exactly like the car that ran the 11's in the video that is floating around this site! Nasty sound to it!

How long did it take you to install the pipe? I am thinking of getting one of these, how would you rate the quality?

Can you get a sound clip? I gutted out my cats, so basically have an off-road mid-pipe myself. I'm curious to know if yours sounds louder than mine. If so, I might be interested in getting the Mak x-pipe. And your auto chirps from 2nd to 3rd, and you don't have smaller gears or any other major mods? And your engine isn't even broken in yet? That's hard to believe. You sure you aren't hearing things.

Impressive to say the least! Without a tune chirping 1-2 is impressive, let alone 2-3. Anyway - how did you take care of the rear 02 sensors and the check engine light? Now I'm definitely thinking of going offroad pipe rather than mufflers.
