Just finished up with the X-pipe install. Exhaust sounds much less raspy and almost quieter in high rpms. I like the sound better with the new pipe in place compared to just the axle-backs. Gives the car a more refined sound IMO.

Here's a sound clip of my car. It was made on a spur of the moment when my friend and I wanted to hear what each of our car's exhaust sounded like. Unfortunately neither of our phones had video recording capability. I will be making one soon though now that I got a better phone.

EDIT: Sorry for the long pause between WOT and drive by. The road was long and had a median divider so it took forever to turn around.

I'm still getting a little bit of squeaking from the exhaust, which I'm going to address tomorrow. I need to put it up on stands and look at that, which I know what to do, just haven't got around to doing it yet. Also looks like since the x-pipe install, the tips need to be re-centered.

Yeah I ended up having the centerize the tips to my liking which took just a few minutes to adjust.

Finally got around to adjusting the exhaust following the X-pipe install. I still had some squeaking, but was able to eliminate that by centering the axle-back portions and pushing everything forward a bit.

One thing I did notice though, the joint on the driver's side portion of the X-pipe appears to have a small leak in it. This is simply there for packaging, and I'm considering having that welded to eliminate any potential leaks in the future.
