Just purchased Dinan free flow exhaust from a fellow member, and I wanted to find out what x-pipe or straight pipe that would compliment with it. Thanks guys!

Get any X Pipe that you like. It should not make any difference.

I saw that you also have a x-pipe on your car, which brand did you use? Supersprint?

How much louder did the Dinan High Flow Middle Racing Exhaust make your car? I don't want to be crazy loud.

I have got the supersprint xpipe, any decent exhaust shop should be able to make it. Don't get the straight pipe as it will effect your back pressure.

What does the X-Pipe offer in terms of performance? or is just added noise?
