Very nice. I have the exact setup. The only thing is I had a single inlet dual outlet magnaflow. I have a Y going into the single inlet. My question is, will I lost alot of power with that Y as opposed to dual inlet dual outlet? Also what kind of resonator is that? My setup needs resonators.

Good question. My understanding is you would, that's why I decided not to do it. Maybe if I had a 550 it wouldn't matter but with my 530 I'm trying to gain not to lose

Nice tips!
Correct me if I'm wrong but these are off eBay right? I've seen these on there and often wondered. Interesting how the smoke comes from the bottom of the tips...

Can we get more pics with the car on the ground. I have been looking into these tips for the past month and thought I was going to be the only one to have done it but you beat me to the punch! I'd really like to see more!!!!

I was told it actually gains due to the X type designed for the two outlet, but don't have any statistics that could show, but when driving you feel more power specially when switch to manual mode... These are just standard resonators that you could get from the muffler shop... ($60 ea.)
