Pros:

.....i don't think it has one. Did made decent power gain

Cons:

....where do I start?

croppy fit, quality, sound. Perhaps worst sounding, worst fitting, worst quality, and worst everything off road X pipe there is.
had it for a 6 month. after countless attempt to make it seal has faild. way too loud, and not in nice way. Worst investment ever. I paid 120 for it, but if I knew what it really is, wouln't have paid 5 bucks for it.
I no longer have it on the car. I have replaced it with OEM 4catted pipe. couldn't live with anymore.
Never ever buy another BBK products!

Pros:
|
Good SOTP power gain.
|
|
Cons:
|
Low quality, bad fit, hangs low, sound is VERY raspy, rattles, tinny.
|
|
I bought this o/r X used for $80. It hangs too low at the back, sounds like crap with my Magnaflow Magnapacks, raspy, tinny, just plain crappy. I did notice a decent power gain vs the stock midpipe w/cats.
Verdict: Pay the extra for a better quality pipe.

some increase in power.

crappy rattling noise when accelerating and shutting doors. Driver's side exhaust leak at header and cat back. Total piece of crap.
|
|
Has a really annoying rattle to the point i almost want to put the stock one back on. Go with something else, this thing sucks.

Everyhing! Bad fit, bad noise, bad product...

I would have rated it a 1, but there was a modest power gain. That was it though. The fit was bad, I chased exhaust leaks all of the time. It hung down too low. The noise was horrible, it rattled and sounded like the car needed to be put in the shop. I put the stock H back on after about a week of the BBK tourture.

Cons:

Raspy sound, not the best quality
|

If I had it to do over again, I'd by another brand. I like the X configuration and sound, but at certain RPM's it sounds like a heat shield is vibrating. Even though it is stainless, the welds are rusting. DIfficult to seal at exhaust manifold. Try another brand.

This x-pipe is great. Everywhere I go I get nothing but compliments about how great my car sounds. It was so easy to install, I did it in my garage by myself while lying on my back. It fit really well with my BBK shorty headers and Flow master mufflers, NO LEAKS. Other people complain about fit and sound but frankly I just think they are incompitant cause anyone with any skill at all can put this on without leaks all the while getting a great sounding car. I would recommend this X-pipe to anyone.

none for the price. Stainless would be nice

this pipe was installed on a 92 LX with a flowmaster Americian Thunder catback. It sounds great. Sounds much like an H pipe @ idle, just a bit raspier. Over 3500rpm it has more of a high pitched scream than an H pipe.I read so many bad reviews,I almost didn't buy it, but have no regrets. Fits great, no leaks. The only down fall is that since I installed it, I have been pounding the snot out of my car... just to hear the sound it makes when it's wound out!!!The only people complaining about exhaust leaks are the modular guys with the right side manifold connection, doesn't have the leak proof ball socket connection.

I've been extremely pleased w/this O/R X-pipe. The fit is great - no leaks, hangs just fine with enought space. When researching various x-pipes, I found it very difficult to find someone with only an x-pipe mod. Most had either cat-backs or headers - so listening didn't really help. I've also never had another type of x-pipe, so I can't make any comparisons. Perhaps I got lucky, but I've not had any of the problems/issues with this x-pipe as many other people have described.

the fit went well, I'm novice & got it done on the floor. Personal opinion of sound somewhat negative with chambered mufflers.

I personally didn't like the sound at all! BUT everyone else says it sounds mean. I am always getting compliments on the great LOUD sound. I have a manual so when I down shift and the rattle starts I just push in the clutch. Sounds great when you punch the gas. The only problem I had was with the drivers side manifold. I had to take out the studs and grind off the sleeve so the bolt would tighten up more and seal. Other than that the pipe does hang a little lower than the stock one. After some time the welds do rust but thats minor.

Pros:
|
Wicked WOT sound (positive & negative)
|
|
Cons:
|
Major Low end Torque Loss (abrasive sound)
|
|
I'm not an old lady. I love it loud, & rumbling. This thing made my 2000 GT sound like rice rocket on steroids. Just an extremely abrasive, annoying sound. I also had major low-end torque loss. Not to bash BBK, I bought their 2.5" Catted H pipe one week later to replace the POS x pipe. The H pipe had great sound, & power all the way through the power band.
Please do not waste your money on the x!

BBK Catted X..great sound even with cats
|
|
Cons:
|
need longer upper 02 sensors than 8 1/2"
|
|
I drive a 1999 GT...This product is AWESOME sounding combined with the SLP Loudmouth catback exhaust..its construction is great..only bad thing is, is that i needed to buy longer o2 sensors to reach the plugs in the engine. Even with cats this pipe puts out great power and sound with the SLP
