I'll back up Kit's claims. Apart from typical discoloration of the stainless steel (which happens to every single exhaust exposed to the elements), Cargraphic has quality systems. My shop actually commented on the quality and bends of the piece while they were installing my x-pipe. I wouldn't give their design or quality control a second thought.

For what it's worth, SwitchPath is a great system. I was just looking for a system that offered a louder, different sound. Another member (on Renn, I believe) confirmed my impressions that Cargraphic's sportier x-pipe was louder and deeper than the SwitchPath (similar to comparing Supersprint's x-pipe [louder/deeper] to one of Fabspeed's systems [higher-pitched and more muffled]).

No worries, Chupa. I wasn't directing any of that toward you; just making sure they don't get a bad rep.

Understood, that's why I edited the post. I don't want to disparage anybody on an opinion.

Thanks.

Yep.

I did a ton of research on almost every single system out there before pulling the trigger on my x-pipe. Let's see what King says when he chimes in again, and we'll take it from there.
