So on eBay there are 4 more titanium looking dual cbe's, oem style, no resonators, true X pipe, 63mm OD left. I got it for $425 shipped (which was surprising since the box was so big it must have been $100 to ship) because they said the X pipe was messed up. Well I was able to bend it out more 3/4" to fit the OEM cats but the flanges were then slightly twisted and didn't line up. So i cut the flanges about 2" in and had some SS 2.5" ID pipe that I used as a slip joint coupling. I also had to do it to one of the mid pipes as it was off. I also needed to add some washers for equal sitting of the tips but over all its perfect now and for $425 it's unbeatable! Me buying just the pipe, flanges, mufflers etc I would of been at $400 plus time to weld, make bends, go through sawzall blades etc. if anyone's interested there are more left. I'd highly recommend take it to a muffler shop so they can do some slight bends to make it fit perfect.

Over all everything else is very nice. I couldn't have tig welded it any better, it's true 304SS, it doesn't rub or hit anything, the inside flanges are ground down for smooth flow, and I still have the same resonators FI uses if its to raspy or loud. No real driving yet or pics. Ill post later.
