yup that SS X-pipe looks even better than mine so who knows, you guys may pick up more power. I'd love to see some dynos on a car with normal A/Fs.

On a side note i think i may have figured out why my car is running lean is b/c my fuel filter may be filter (after 7 years of driving). I put some Redline "Complete Fuel system Treatment" in my moms S430 as a test, her car was running like a dog and it make her car go from feeling like a S320 to a S500, the peppyness was back and wasn't bogging down like it used to. They say one bottle treats 100 gallons but i just slapped it in a half tank for maximum effectiveness. I'll let you guys know how it works on my E55, hopefully it will clean up my fuel filter.

Why don't you just change your fuel filter? It's right in front of your driver's side rear wheel, behind a plastic cover.

believe me, i've thought of that. I will but im going to see if its absolutely necessary first, if it isn't i will just live with the current one, but i seriously am starting to believe it may be fuel filter so I will go ahead and order one once i return after the holidays, I hear new fuel filters really help the car feel alive again.

can't wait to see the bad boy installed, should look even better than mine and make more power as well. Lemme know how you like the sound. Also the sound will get slightly louder over time b/c now the gas reaching the muffler is a bit hotter and so you might smell some "burn off" of hte packing material in the stock muffler for a day or two, but it goes away quick you should love it. i love my car now, sounds 100% IMO, its the way it should have sounded (& performed) from day one.

hey Omey we have our x-pipe & mandrel bend pipe installed & reso-delete this morning. Me & Hai are very happy with the outcome- sound quality (perfect) & performance. As promise here are the pictures taken during before & after installations. at one point forget where to cut the pipe from the resonator for the connection of the mandrel pipe but luckily Haister (aka Hai-tech) got his super phone with him & downloaded the pictures that you posted from the forum. btw, you were right about that "burn-off" smell. Also Hai made a video file (before & after) that he is going to upload leter. Thanks again Omey!! (btw, that's hai admiring my exhaust LOL!)
