Default My new X-pipe exhaust

I finally got a new exhaust, this summer, but only now got round to posting some pics.
I will take some video so you can hear how it sounds too.
There are a few issues, they installed the exhaust tips the wrong way round, and more importantly there is annoying drone between 1500rpm and 1900rpm.
So I will have to go back to sort out those issues.
Apart from that, it sounds great, finally the very loud rattling stock cat is gone.

The X-pipe design is my choice, to go before the cats is key, and also to copy the Mr Ott X-pipe or V2 pipe as he calls it. The copy was not completely successful, I think they should have done a smaller angle on exit, and the cross over section should have been a little bit longer.
The cats I bought myself, they are HJS cats.

I modified the rear valance myself, but had to take it to a local spray shop for painting. I'll do a separate thread on that, I should have some pics somewhere.
