Looking for used X-pipe

tominizer · 05-30-2019, 07:48 AM

My stock Section 1 and X-pipe are looking like they will be a BIATCH to separate as the bolts have been "assimilated" into the flanges and are not coming out at all, even with chemicals and heat. I could cut them off but the ones in the middle will be tricky to get to without damaging the pipe OR having to buy new tools with a much smaller cutting wheel. So I'm thinking of just leaving it all together and trying to find a used X-pipe for a decent price. Still a bit baffled as to why two relatively short piece of pipe with simple bends and some flanges are going for $600 USD plus taxes and shipping. By the time I import them here, that's going to turn into $1000. Stupid and yet I do understand that whole thing about "if you want to play with these cars, you gonna pay".

Anyways, if you have an x-pipe you want to dump, let me know.

Tominizer, you would think a fabricator would be able knock one of those up for way less than a g-note??

dbarton62 - pretty sure if I gave him the OEM stock piece, should not be a problem to put something like that together for well under that price and the pricing out there right now from the manufacturers.
