Jeff your setup is sweet. Thanks again man. BTW, for those considering this mod. I found out that the magnaflow x pipe#14385 you used is the polished version version of the #11385 that I believe ArnoldK used over on my350z (question was posed in an olded thread). This is the one that is available from perfromancepeddler.com for $77 shipped.

I didn't chose that one because Magnaflow's site says that's a straight through design. But those guys that have received it, looked inside and said it was a X type. I wasn't willing to order blind like that so I got the polished version.

good call. they were definitely screwing you over. It should take no more than an hour for a shop to install, so you shouldn't pay more than $50-$75 in labor.

I have the Borla Parts too and love it, my brother got his used from craigslist but I wanted a valid warranty so I got it here. Borla Parts Exhaust 14385, or you can try one of the sponsors here on the forum, they are allways having sales/specials. Either way its a great exhaust system, sounds great, and very easy to install.

LOL..I was wondering that one myself!

Jeff-do you have HFC's and if so did you have drone before you did the X pipe and if so did the X pipe eliminate most of it?

No I don't have HFCs and I'm wondering the same thing. I'd like to get them but I'm afraid of the noise/rasp that might come from them. I'm just about at my noise limit right now.

Got it..I have the drone at 1600-2000 rpm's which I did not have before I installed the HFC's...trying to figure out to get rid of it or at least tone it down.
