Default Need Help Selecting... X-Pipe (Fabricating 3" Exhaust)

I want a 3" X - cannot be longer than 12" long. I want it to be Stainless, prefer it to be at or around $100.00... Here is what I've found, LMK what you think / find:



Magnaflow Tru-X - $84.95 @ Summit

(Side Note: JEGS list the same part above as a 14" X...)



Hedman X-Treme - $102.99 @ Jegs

What ya'll got?!?!

Magnaflow looks to be a better X design. the Hedman one LOOKS like it would be much different than an H-pipe. OH YEAH, hurry up and get that car runnin!!!!

I'ev got a full X-pipe with mufflers you can buy, won't have to fabricate anything. But I forget if its 3" or 3.5"...hmm.

Anyways, I like your first choice better.

Due to cube size? Even with lots of spray?

75mm TB, yes. Plan on bumping up the cubes once I run through this combo for a while. Probably a 331 or 347... Figured just buy the exhaust once

I'm just a fan of "the biggest parts aren't always better"

I KNOW my ehaust wasnt an issue on my old 347 with (plenty) of spray.

1 5/8 LTs full 2.5 the rest of the way...tail pipes too
