I just put on the MAK off road X pipe & wow is it loud . The quality is 1st rate - perfect fit. I did it myself . I also have the shorty headers. It feels like I lost a little power down low and picked up a little something in the 5-6 rpm range. for $199. well worth it http://www.makperformance.com/category.cfm

15 horse power for $200 sounds fishy to me....

add in $400 for the tuner to turn the O2 sensors off (with no cats)

They back up the claim with a dyno sheet posted. after having had the x pipe on for a few days I have noticed the car will spin the tires about 3 feet longer than it would before with the stock cats on . I have a before Dyno so this weekend I'll get it dynoed again to see what gains were made - stay tuned.

Are you using any MIL Eliminators? If not be prepared for the CEL to come on soon. Mine came on with the Bassani W/Cats after about 400 miles and I took it to the dealer to have them run a check, code came back the Cats were not doing the job. Ultimatly got the C&L cold air with the preditor to turn it off.
