Default where can i find an x pipe?

I am looking for an x pipe to replace the resonator on my borla cat back since the resonator inlets/outlets are cracked. Anyone know where to look?

Common problem - see if you can find a competent welder who knows stainless steel. The resonance with the x pipe will drive you nuts.

that's what i originally had planned but he informed me that all four inlets/outlets were cracked. So I went down to check it out and decided it probably wasnt worth fixing. anyway, maybe a resonator from borla or other system that is similar in size/dimensions would work....any leads on something else? thanks

Dr. Gas will make you a nice one and it's a true 3" cross over instead of the two pieces being kinda coped together in the middle like B&Bs!

I have the B&B x-pipe on mine now, but i also have the old dr. gas true x-pipe from my wrecked Z that i'm seriously thinking of putting back under my blue Z.

I have a pick of it somewhere...i'll find it and through it on here later!

Pete has the siamesed B&B X pipe with a couple of 3" open bullet resonators on the output of the X pipe. I heard it run, and didn't notice any objectionable level of resonance at all. Beautiful sounding too, I might add.

Actually Pete has a Stainless Works X pipe, I should know, he bought it from me

SD,

Magnaflow makes a Resonator with internal 'X' in the 3" variety I am thinking of using that with my Borla Challenge system inplace of the current Borla resonator

Here is a pick of what I wish my B&B looked liked, but not even close. This is on a buddies Supra and looks almost just like my dr. gas piece!
