Save your money? You think a $6 dollar piece of pipe will break your budget? That's like arguing against the weight of the pipe.
It's just fact that h or x pipes make more power. It's been tested by high end race teams in various motor sports around the world. Guy's who have a much bigger budget than you. I'll drink the same koolaid the pro's do if it gives me the same kinda power they make. No offense.
