Hi All.

I'm thinking of getting the Supersprint X-Pipes (from Beastpower of course), and had a couple of questions for anyone who has installed them.

1-I'm sure they sound very nice, but I'm concerned about how much louder they are. I know it's tough to describe in words, but I really need to get a handle on how loud they are going to be compared to the stock resonators. I do a lot of highway cruising, so I don't think I'd like them so loud as to be overly intrusive (competing with the radio/cd).

2-Are they worth it? (No offence, Beastpower). But what do these pipes offer over a set that could be fabricated by my race shop guys?

Thanks
