yeah if you like a loss in torque and a very loud very annoying exhaust note.

I test drove mine a couple times with no no axle back. It really took a dip in the low end power, although, I was amazed it really wasn't that loud or annoying.

If you were to use small enough pipe wouldnt that help keep your torque somewhat

straight pipe would net you like 1-2hp thats about it. its not worth it just get a high flow cat, with a catback exhaust. you'd be much better off.

any and all exhausts are only going to gain you EXTREME Minimum performance. It is only needed in the case of forced induction though. Anything else is just for looks.

Over 600 bucks for exhaust? How about not I'd rather stick ''lil Idaho'' in a meat grinder before I chuck out that much for just exhaust.

Anybody considering this one give me 600 bucks and I could fly out to you town, drive your xb down to your local muffler shop get you a custom built exhaust with a magnaflow muffler, fly back home and still have enough money left over to make a profit!
