I guess I'll find out soon.
I'll be installing over the weekend (or maybe tonite after work
) I'll post my impressions.

From what I understand, the exhaust on the X is the same from the Y-pipe back.
I'm not aware if there are any other minor variances such as shields etc.
If you take a run at it, you may be the first X to do it.

Well, I am sold. Been waiting for an opportunity and thanks to Ivory_G I found it. Just ordered mine from Tim today. Thanks!
This write up and the sound clips pushed me over the fence for sure, thanks again all.

Does the coupe midpipe fit on the 04 sedan with no problems? Also, is cutting or welding needed or is this something I can do with wrenches, sockets and a floor jack?
I would love to hear a sound clip of the difference but did not see any attachments in this section. I would think it must sound something like the fx35? Thanks

There may be some minor issues with heat shield modification for clearance
