like the title said. I am tired of waiting on the back order list, where can I find the cheapest. I want a good fitting one doesn't have to be stainless but would like to compare prices, I was looking at UPR offroad x-pipe.
Thanks

The UPR one is cheap, but it isn't the best fitting x-pipe on the planet. That is what I have and it scrapes over every speed bump. I have tried adjusting it to no avail.
It works and it's cheap though.

Im running the UPR X also and as Fett stated, it fits good but seems to hang a little low. My vert is lowered about 1.5" and it tends to scrape some driveways and speed bumps.

Dude, you seem to wanna do alot of stuff for cheap, with the gear thing and this off-road pipe deal. You might be better off in the long run saving nickles and dimes, buying good stuff for your 5.0, rather than doing a lot of cheap parts. The cheapest stuff is cheap for a reason, and you'll wind up having to fix the cheap broken stuff alot more often than if you waited and bought the right stuff. If you gotta have cheaper stuff, get the good stuff used, the classifieds or ebay, for example, great for shopping on a budget.

what about all the other people doing budget buildups????? Plus I don't think I am cheap, I plan on getting a trickflow or edlebrock top end kit. You can still get good parts for cheap, plus the 3.73 gears I'm getting are the ford racing ones.....I know where to buy quality stuff but a x-pipe is a xpipe, I may go with the pypes ss one since it is only around 140 dollars, or 160 locally. And I plan on getting a intake but I am not getting some bbk pipe or k&n I will be getting the C&L 76mm kit. The only reason I was going to go with the upr xpipe is that I heard through a local shop that the fit was great and they had a Cheap price for them

The UPR X-pipe is CRAP. If you want cheap and something worthwhile, score a Jeg's off-road X-pipe. The three-piece design is WAY easy to install and it doesn't hang low on ya'. I think they're about $160 or so, IIRC.

Mine does fit great and after I welded on two hangers it sits real tight to the bottem of the car. Might even sit higher than the subframes!

That's true. I was there on saturday and found a 93 with perfect interior (expect broken ashtray ).

I almost had blue interior instead of grey.

I got my summet h-pipe for $105 shipped.....Its a h-pipe like any of the other one you guys have....works the same...made out of the same stuff....went in fine...ect....some things are pricy because of the name stamped on it....

I got shorty headers for $80 new.....next to the ford racing ones you would never know they were different...i think the welds on mine were better...the collecter is clean as heck also.....not everything that is cheap sucks....
