$177 is a lot for an x-pipe. Any muffler shop can build and install one for about $100. Or they can order one from Magnaflow installed, for less than $177.
I ordered an x-pipe from the bay. And I just welded it in. Saves me money for more mods.
That's what I put on. Be careful it has a 4.5" center line. Our cars are a 4" center line. You would need to use the little 4" extensions. They can be found at any auto parts store.

From what I've been told. An X-pipe or H-pipe is better than straight pipes. They equalize the exhaust pressure from one side to the other.
An H-pipe will give you more of a old school muscle sound. The X-pipe has a better flow with more of a sporty sound.
I have Flowmasters with the X-pipe. I think I got the best of both worlds. Also the X-pipe got rid of the popping, I had on hard deceleration.
