It looks nice enough. It would be good to know the hp gains you could expect though. :?:

would it even fit the xB since the american version is different from the japan version?

The exhausts made to fit JDM bBs will not extend out far enough with the USDM xBs because of their thicker rear bumpers.

But as I have read on this great forum....the exshaust is already a straight weld to the exhaust manifold....so you could just weld an additional piping.......unless the bends are different too....then that will just be a problem.....if thats the case when I get my xb I might just go with the Blitz Nur Spec
That looks like a comptech muffler made here in the states.
The muffler hanger on that muffler would have to be cut and extended down to fit perfectly. I had to do it to a 5 Zigen muffler already. I wonder if comptech has any universals, then I could make that set-up no problem. And no one would have to pay international shipping charges :D But it does look nice though! 8)
We carry Tenzo mufflers that are universal. They actually come with a strap similar to the straps that you would see on a carbon fiber muffler. Gives it a cleaner look plus you can ajust as needed to be. Might want to look into something like that for a custom application. I mean you could take one of those style mufflers and have a muffler shop do the pipe fitting. Considering the price of that would run $100 tops and we have universal mufflers with straps starting at $100 your ahead of the game.

If it doesn't fit why get it. If its for your car and it doesn't fit wtf. why go thru the trouble when you can spend 100 more for a correctly fitting intake? I don't get it.

I'm very pleased with the TRD axle back exhaust. It's sound isn't annoying but "throaty", especially since I do a lot of freeway driving. The 3 1/2 tip is the perfect size, and it sounds "conservatively aggressive", something you can live with on your daily commute while commanding some acknowledgement that there's more under the hood than people know.
