I just ordered the x pipe yesterday. Let you know when it arrives on the quality.

Unfortunately FedEx is at it again and cannot accurately track their packages. Now there is no ETA.

So these bolt up behind the primary cats?

Looks like it and will be sold out once everyone sees this. I don’t have these but love my secondary cat delete with the AWE that went extinct. Very surprised a company will take the risk producing delete pipes again

A couple of things.

1. The O2 bung was off a little and I had to bend the trans fluid line up and feed the O2 through between the line and the transmission.

2. At this point I cannot install the driveshaft tunnel brace back in as this system doesn't seem to fit up in the tunnel. I have seen Corsa, Borla and others with the brace on. I will be trying again tomorrow to see if I loosen everything and install it.

Looks nice, few questions:
1) How difficult was it to seperate the factory pipe from the primary convertor?
2) Did the new pipes fit up to the factory muffler or did you have to cut the pipes?

Thanks

Everything fit well. I used the new rear pipe to mark where to cut the stock exhaust. I basically just held the new one next to the stock and aligned the hanger and used a sharpie to mark the cutline. I used a sawzall with a metal blade and made the cut. Just watch out for the rear diff and any lines but the cutline was actually just behind the rear diff and the blade was not in danger of hitting anything. The slip connector is pretty long too so there is a room for error.

The stock connections at the front were pretty easy, 2 bolts on the passenger side and the clamp on the driver side. The clamp on mine was tacked to the first cat pipe so I had to cut that off.

If you have not done anything like this before, plan on it taking a day.

The stock clamp on the slip connection(driver side) is tack welded...so it needs ground off with a cutoff wheel or something. Also I wouldn't reuse that clamp get a new one. It has a graphite lining that comes apart when you remove it. The Passenger side is a flange connection with a metal gasket...easy peasy.

Far as the rear section, you cut the stock X pipe back by the rear cross member just like you would for any Axle back install. Then use the slip connection adapters and clamps to mate it to the muffler. Nothing unbolts back there as it's all welded together from the factory.

Protip- use 2 bolt lap joint clamps instead of supplied clamps for a better seal.

great find ! I may not need them for what I'm doing to my 2023 ZL1, but I just ordered a set. Still showed they were in stock and ready for shipping !
