Has anyone used Speed Engineering X pipe with TSP LT's?

I just had TSP 2" headers with off road connection pipes and am not impressed with the connection to the OEM exhaust. Maybe not TSP's fault, built to a price. No one seems to sell the TSP 3" X off road pipe separate and I can get the Speed Engineering one. I have a feeling it won't as the TSP headers have a ball and socket style connection.

I don’t think it will work. I would get the connections welded to your xpipe. I don’t see a need going to 3” mid especially on a 6spd. In the very least the stock mid pipe may give more midrange power and the taller gearing would make use of it

Thanks. I just need to have them fix the exhaust leak which I suspect is coming from the off road connection pipes to the oem mid section. It’s a sharp bend there and I believe it limits the clamp size

I know exactly where you’re saying.
Not a popular option, but I used permatex ultra copper in those joints. I used a wire brush to clean up when I took them off. Really wasn’t bad and worked for me

Thanks, I’ll get some.
