Did you go oem or headers?
- Location

I just went OEM because I didn't want to relocate the cats. It wasn't that bad to replace at all. All the nuts came off no problem and I pulled all the studs with a torx socket. I recommend pulling the studs because it gave me more room to get the manifold in and they aren't too hard to pull if you have the right tools.

Light bar we built, made with 2" O.D. aluminum tubing to match the stock roof rack.
Did you weld a tab to the tube to attach the lights or are they screwed into the tube?:uhhh:

I drilled and tapped holes in the tube itself and it looks a little smoother and cleaner

I almost went with that exact set up. The cherry bomb extreme but with single in dual out. But after finding a glass pack (fart can) on CL for $10 I couldn't pass it up.
Post a video up once its on!!

My original plan was to go single in dual out until I saw I had a lot of bad pipe up front thy needed replaced to I jus went all out. The muffler guy told me he'd do everything thing for $100 more so I took it

so i take it that your gonna be doing a full H pipe set up?

Heres my new dual exhaust, it turned out awesome. It no longer sounds like a 3.3L V6 I was shocked how big of a difference this setup made.
Its a dual in dual out Cherry Bomb Extreme muffler with 2.5" from the cats back.
This video is kinda lousy on my iPhone its much louder in person. My dad also messed up on the drive by haha but on a normal drive by it sounds pretty mean. Il try and get a better one.

Looks super clean and sounds great! Exhaust has been on my list for a while but keeps getting bumped down. Your post is putting it higher on the list

- Probably in class..
What did that set up run you? And also how do you keep your X so damn shiny? Claybar and wax?

Sounds awesome man! Thats the set up I want! But I couldn't pass up the $10 glass pack for now.

Total cost was $400. $100 for the muffler and tips then $300 at the garage. I'm very happy with it.
As for wax I use the Black Box and it works awesome. My friend clay bars his and his always looks really good too. His truck is red by the way.

Nice build! Could you tell me where you bought this mount and post of picture of how it actually attaches to the truck?
- Location

Took the X to the dealership yesterday to have a friend who works in the service department check it out and see whats going on with it. Last week it was over heating and smoking and putting out a ton of smoke from the exhaust so I wasnt running it besides getting to the dealership. I figured it was going to be a head gasket and thats what it is. The dealership told me at least over $2K depending on if theres more issues when they would fix it so unfortunately its looking like this might be the end of it for my X. I just cant help but feel like it isnt worth it to put that money into it especially since Ive been fixing something different every other weekend. Its not going to be easy to get rid of it but its looking like thats my only option at this point. I posted a thread in the for sale section about possible parts I might be selling if I end up parting out with the X.

I still plan to check around town and see what some other places say. I haven't made a final decision yet. As far as doing it myself im afraid it'll be a little too much for me to handle.
