For the price, you cant beat this exhaust. And the muffler section is bolt on, you could do w.e you want with some extra flanges.

Oh I have the non varex for the record. Headers next for sure.
yeah I plan to make a straight pipe to switch for whenever I want to make a lot more noise. Just in case the open position on the varex won't cut it for me.

So there's a 95% chance I'm gonna place an order for a non Varex. I posted these tips in the JoeZ dual tip thread, am curious if these would work on the x force. Anyone with this exhaust able to measure from the base of the outlet to the exit of the diffuser? Also how centered if the exit to the bumper cutout?

Ill probably order a set regardless and make them work, even if that requires modifying the muffler placement. But would be nice if it was a straight weld on job.

Thanks in advance if someone's willing to take a minute

I can take pics tomorrow, but from the rear of the muffler i measured 10" back like the tips and it sticks out a bit far. The tip would have to be trimmed so it doesnt look bad imo. I wanna get tips welded on mine also

FYI, check out the x-force website. They make a whole host of tips that would work based on your measurements. Only issue is I don't think any are blued.

I actually bought these exact tips to replace the stock bumper-mounted ones ( I also have the X force exhaust). I ended up having to cut a lot off of the inlet on the tip and also an inch or so off of the muffler tip. It still stuck out way to far for my liking. I even went as far as cutting off a good bit from the outlet of the tip. Doing that made it sit in the right spot in the bumper without sticking out too much, but after I spot welded it onto the muffler to see how it looked, I still wasn't happy so i took it all off and went back to stock. I still want to put different tips on the car, but haven't had the spare time to look deeper into it.

My advice is to stay away from these tips unless you plan on moving the mufflers toward the front of the car a good 3-4 inches.

Hey thanks for the info, that's actually a huge help. Least gives me an idea regarding the amount of work I am in for.

I am also working a deal with Thunder muffler as another option for a pair of these, so would merely use the Xforce mid pipe and just have the rear piping directed towards the new mufflers.

X-Force Tips, these seem very compact in length and might work very well as an add on to the existing x-force system.
