Shipped, his is $285, yours $300. 15 bucks doesn't really matter to me, so I'm trying to judge on member opinions.
BTW do you have a clip yet of someone revving with your auto axleback? It's hard to hear it in that clip of it idling.

Thats the other kit from stylis. It goes for $250 + S&H.

What do you think is necissarily the best exhaust/ header combo for an automatic xb... would you go with catback with 2" pipe? What brand? Or would you go with axle-Back and what brand!~ Then which header do you put on? Sorry but I am saving up for this and dont want to screw up and end up buying two or even three different exhausts~

I revamped a previously installed Magnaflow round canister muffler based catback that resonated so bad, you couldn't hear yourself think, let alone have a conversation while driving. You could hear the xB coming before you saw it.
It was because of the 14 inch glasspack, that, coupled w/ the round canister muffler, resonated throughout the cabin at freeway speeds.
I had the glasspack replaced w/ a true Magnaflow resonator and a street series oval muffler replaced the round canister muffler.
The owner/driver thanked me since he could now talk and carry on w/ a conversation w/o having to shout, klet alone blast his stereo to kill some of the droning.

I don't have a clip of the auto axle back revving, but I can assure you that the sound is very deep and mellow. And sits very high for better ground clearance.

A buddy of mone took reading of several axlebacks. The quietest at the time was the Tanabe Hypermedallion, and one of the loudest, at the legal level here in CA, was the Magnaflow Race Series oval. All of the axlebacks were on xBs.
