So, after having only owned the car a few days and just joined the forum, I ordered an X-Pipe from someone who was, at that time, a complete stranger. A price of £200 was agreed and I said I was in no hurry as the car was running well and it was only a slight modification that could be done at any time.
I got notification that it had been made, I paid via bank transfer, the X-Pipe arrived next day courier and I was pleased. Only pleased at this point as I had paid for something and got it which was the least of my expectations.
Today I fitted it............and.........worth every penny. Stainless steel, clamps included and easy to fit. While it hasn't exactly increased the overall volume of noise the car makes that much. It has made the lower rev ranges throatier ( is throatier a word? ) and the higher rev ranges crisper. The sound from outside the car, after getting someone to drive it for me, has given it a better V8 sound and the interior is still quite enough that my wife never noticed the difference. So at this point I'm very pleased and would recommend getting one of these from this forum if you are even slightly thinking about it.
And to the forum, thank you. In particular BennyD for organising this for me and after the phone call I fully trusted with this transaction. The forum has turned out to be a bunch of true gentlemen who are only interested in helping other enthusiasts.
