That would be nice, I hope you’re right! Unfortunately, since their “axle-forward” system is without cats and without AFM, I would guess any axle-back would probably be without NPP too! Dang it....I sure would like to keep at least one of the factory systems intact on this car!!!

You could always modify the midpipes to keep npp, with some cutting

You mean AFM valves...NPP valves are tied in at the suit case muffler.

Looking forward to hearing it run! Post up video when you can.

It's stainless...you can tell.by the discoloration at the welds. Aluminized steel does not do that. It just not polished stainless is all.

Yeah I second guessed my own comment further down the thread, once I saw that they use 409. I figured it just wasn't polished at that point.

Nice! Congrats I have mine in the garage just looking for the free time.

My Xpipe came in today, definitely worth the $. The welds are decent and shipping was fast. It will be a little while before my coated kooks LT’s come in. As soon as they do I’ll tig it all up and post some pics.

Got a set of OEM Gaskets yesterday I am ready for installation on saturday. Will do a write up for installation if I can contribute any new info on the process.

Awesome! Eager to hear your thoughts!

RedDragonSS2.0 · 02-24-2018, 11:11 PM

Headers went in very easy and fit perfect, I haven’t had time to drive it yet as I am 2 clamps short from finishing the axle back portion (broke two of them by over tightening them) and the car is still on jack stands. It sounds mean As HELL with the MBRP exhaust my kids freaked out said it was louder than a race car lol made my day.

Going to wrap everything up tomorrow and do a full write up this week along with videos.

Luckily I had lots of help from a few friends...

Can't wait to hear some video clips.
