the picture of the x-pipe on AM doesn't look the same as yours.There's looks a little shorter.Why would you lose some low end with the x-pipe. I also have the Roush axle backs.Like to here from big papi on this since he's running the x-pipe and Roush Mufflers.

Hmmmm... I still don't really hear that much of a difference with the x-pipe.
Is there still rasp at 5000 RPMS? Have you noticed less rasp with the x-pipe in?

Well, I placed my order through AM last night, so I suspect I'll have it tomorrow (PA to VA 1-day shipping FTW!). Will probably install it on Thursday, though I'm a little apprehensive considering the trouble Steve had with two people and a lift. It'll just be me and the front wheels up on ramps!

Ha ha! I didn't say it was easy! I ultimately used a short 1/2 inch box wrench to get things started..Move it 1 inch, flip, repeat. It's doable, just not easy. This step took a bit of time..

I used a ratcheting wrench but now I feel like a total nub. Fitment on this is not great and I've got leaks at both x to cat connections. gonna redo those and see if I can get them to fit properly... not looking good, though. Prob wont drive the car tomorrow.

Well I am all cut up to hell and wasted several hours. Can't get the cat flanges to line up correctly by myself.. I am going to have to try again tomorrow.
Steve, when you were installing yours, did you leave the over-the-axle pipe flanges loose and tighten the cat flanges while your helper held the X pipe in position? I'm thinking this is what I am going to have to do tomorrow when I've got some help. I'm also going to orient the flanges the same way you did.
Very frustrating to say the least. Installing an X pipe on my '03 GT and cat-back on my 370Z was a piece of cake... I can't believe how bad this was. I only put the car up on ramps too... probably should have put it up higher on jack stands. Sigh.
I'm going to go take a shower and clean my wounds now.

Sounds brutal man. Hoping the sound will be worth the sweat and blood.
