Here is a couple of things I found

The “X” Crossover concept is the latest in exhaust technology. Our “X” Crossover setup will always be as good or better than the traditional H-pipe. In some street situations, you will not be able to tell the difference by the seat of the pants. We make the above statement not to "belittle" the benefits of the "X" Pipe Crossover technology, but to inform you that in a lot of street situations, you just won't feel any difference. With this in mind you might find spending the extra money worthwhile. It has a unique sound that many really like.

So do it. Who cares if there's little gains in power - at least you'll know the car is on when it idles.

rim's, tire's, tune, cai, sound-system/DVD, HID's, LED's for every-thing. but im still looking for the LS Reverse White Face EL Glow Gauge that LSKconsepts are sold out of

You don't want 'em. I have them now and they're coming out next weekend. They don't fit the Gen IIs correctly due to different needle design compared to the Gen Is.
I picked up a set of just regular white face gauges from eBay. Has the correct layout and everything for the Gen IIs.

from what i'm hearing bassani is the best x-pipe for the money, which magnaflow muffler is recomended?

An X pipe is pretty much an X pipe. The one I have is from Magnaflow. don't pay more for something because of the name.
The gauge overlays I got on eBay. Just search on there, you'll find them. I think their site might be www.whitefacegauges.net but not sure since the stuff is home.

what do you recomend and a price?
Actually I beg to differ, a Bassani x-pipe has a patent on there design and reduce exhaust scavaging over any other x-pipe design. You can get a universal x-pipe for about $70 and get a universal bassani x-pipe for about $100.

On a 3.9, you're not going to notice a difference.

Has anyone experienced any problems after converting from factory H pipe to X pipe ????
I'm asking this question because my brother wants to install a custom made x pipe and a friend of his told him that it's bad for your car ??? I know it's not true but my brother insisted to ask you guys( The Experts ) .

Thanks for the tip
oh by the way could someone post a picture of an installed x pipe system ???Bassani is stamped and not the best merge. I had one on my Mustang and it did not sound good. Go w/ a Dr. Gas X and have it custom fitted as close to the engine as you can (practically) get it for best performance. Merge the gases while they're as hot as possible for the best scavenging effect.
