Look forward to seeing the results. Take lots of pictures and post up the info for those of us who also intend to eventually do the same.

Im Sydney, Oz based and got mine fitted by the Xforce head office here. Yep no fittment issues, straight forward. Got the Varex system, sounds great but got the older module so remote activated unlike the newer one with the bluetooth (Phone operated) version

HI the idiot exhaust fitter cut of the o2 guards off he said the socket was splaying out. And the exhaust hit in 2 places, i wondered why i had drone...because it was hitting the body i wont go back to this guy all fixed and it sounds great no drone,"i didn't want a drone for Christmas" tune next might have to wait until after Christmas, o the pain LOL. PS what are the O2 sensor guards for anyway.

Holy crap why didn't I think of that. With the x force piping its damn near a straight shot out the rear bumper. Keep us posted I'm going to order mine here shortly. Giving up on the Thunder setup for the time being. Will revisit later.

a friend of mine has an xforce and I looked at his set up, theres a flange right by the muffler, soo ill get the flange welded on the new tip so I can switch them back and forth with the muffler or tips if need to be for loud/smog purposes

Yup should be super easy. I'll likely do the same. Thanks for sharing.

Ordered my X Force as well and was planning on making a track setup like you are with no mufflers. Mine is shipping 12/9 as well.👍
Where did you source those tips?
