General X pipe question!
Hey everyone, what is the actual difference between a magnaflow x pipe which is like 100 bucks and a no brand x pipe, sold at some stores for about 25 bucks?? Are they different aside from a name? If so, what does the magnaflow x pipe do better? Thanks!

1. Quality of material used. Stainless tubing costs more and won't rust out on you in 12 months.
2. Mandrel bent connections. Smoother contours means better, more even flow. 3. Quality welding means no leaks. Other than that, nothing. Are you comparing a simple $25 x-pipe to the Magnaflo resonated x? In that case, there's more going on there that you're paying for. I can't believe you're doing so much work over this (we have exchanged pm's). John B.

Cool beans. Hopefully it tames your muffler delete.

Te $25 one will be rusted out in a year or two.
