Default X pipe installed

Got a Borla X-pipe shipped in yesterday and decided to go up to the shop I work part time and do the install today. It was a great looking piece with NO INSTRUCTIONS but the install was real easy...only abt. 30 min. after we got her in the air. The only difficult part was finding two gaskets to use where it bolted to the muffler lead pipe. They were not to be found so I fabed up two and did a short road trip. Results: only a slight sound change but you could feel the added torque from 3-5,000.
