Has anyone welded dual exhaust tips to this exhaust? Seems like a good option especially those who want burnt or carbon tips without breaking the bank.

The company I bought it from probably drop ships everything. I doubt they have any in stock so probably whatever the manufacturer sends. But I’ll let y’all know tomorrow when it comes in.

It appears to be hit or miss for the XForce exhausts that people receive these days as far as the modifications go.
Modifications meaning cutting off the muffler tips which are too long and will hit the exhaust tips, muffler hangars that require cutting, bending of the middle crossbar to provide more clearance.

Reviews are plenty in this forum and on youtube.

After ~2500 miles on the XForce exhaust, it does its job, but honestly, I think it's too quiet for my taste. Had a JoeZ full catback and it was noticeably louder with a more "exotic" exhaust sound; ie higher pitched and more volume all the way through the rev range. At least the XForce doesn't make my ears ring after driving around, so that's a good thing about the XForce if that's what you're looking into. I am really satisfied with the XForce esp since it is $1100 cheaper than the JoeZ, but like everyone said, you do get what you pay for, and everyone has a point of diminishing returns.

Ohh i totally understand that (former 240sx owner here lol)

I just remember someone stating there was a revised version that corrected the hangar issue. just wondering how that worked out is all.

Same here. Just ordered it myself through the deal. Going to find an shop to weld these dual rolled tips that I have as well. Once that's done I'll post pics and discuss any possible issues.

So just finished up the install, did it on jack stands in the garage took about 3 hours, everything matched up perfectly, I did have to cut the tips about an inch and I did that beforehand ...it would have touched otherwise.
idk if I had the updated version or not piping had manufactured date sometime in 2016 ...muffler and hanger 2017 other than that absolutely no modifications needed ... what really helped out was someone stated above to not fully tighten anything until it’s all put together, so you can make slight adjustments

Nice! Good to hear you had little to no issues. You mind posting pictures of it and definitely a shot from close rear and bottom. I'm trying to see how far the tips are and how much space there is between then and the outer opening of the bumper.

I have had my X-exhaust on for over 3 years now and have just now developed a slight rattle from it hitting the cross member. But other than that no complaints at all. I actually enjoy that the car isn't crazy loud but in boring like that.
