thats totally upto you. for me i would definitely pony up the cash. hell i think i was quoted 500 for it to be done, and fuel costs would have been 150 for me to get there and back. i forgot to say..reason i would do it is because where i live, you are harassed for everything on your car. especially with the huge wing on the back of our hatch. i want to keep my exhaust looking as stock as possible! im also lowered, so those TDX cans would scrape everywhere i go!
keep in mind, the H-pipe is about a 2" pipe, then after the H-pipe is a 2.25" pipe to the resonators, and after the resonators it widens to 2.5" to the muffler. from having my car on the lift by a fellow Z enthusiast yesterday, he said this would create some nice backpressure, i'm likely going to have sonic motorsports fab me up an X-pipe from mandrel bends now. plan is as follows:
2.5" pipe from cat-back to X-pipe opening, then other end of X-pipe will be a 2.25" pipe to the flange of the resonator. this keeps all the stock widths, yet widens the area where there is the most restriction in our H-pipe. i'll post videos/pics whenever i have this done
