Well I got my Strup Headers and Exhaust the other day. I put the exhaust on already.
The exhaust sounds awsome. The tone is nice and low and not ricy! The finish on the headers and exhaust are AMAZING! The quality is A+.
Here are the pics! Once I get the headers installed Ill post up some pics!

UPDATE!
The headers are installed! The exhaust tone got a bit louder but not that much! You can feel a difference right away! The acceleration is much better and quicker!

Its a nice low tone. When you really get on it you don't even here it that much. Whe you are crusing at like 2,500 - 3,000 its got a nice low hum ... nothing annoying!

I would take a picture of mine but the strut bar is in the way. I was thinking about taking it off so you could see the header better but I have never driven the xB without one. Do they make that big of a difference?

I've heard from several different peaple that they don't...the suspension mod that you will notice the most difference with would be a rear sway bar (like the progress tech one)

I got mine installed the other day (exhaust), and i must say..... i love the low tone, and like Lavabox said... its not ricy!

Lavabox.... does the tip of the Strup come out of the rear bumper on a bit of an angle? Also... how do you feel about it hanging down so low?

Yea that looks sweet, i like the little bit of angle. i think thatd be too low for me though the back of the muffler is looooooow. plus, it looks like you got a free quarter

It does come out on a slight angle ... I don't have a problem with it comming too low ... I haven't hit anything yet so its cool with me! It could be up alittle higher but its not that bad! The headers should be on Saturday if the weather says good ... Ill post pics as soon as I can!

I thought mine was too low at first also. But, if you look at where it hangs down it is level with the tires. So when the tires go up so will the exhaust. You would have to either high center on something or take speedbumps really, really, fast to hit it on something.

Oh guys, you don't even know how great this exhaust is, took me about ten minutes to install after i got the stock muffler off, and it sounds great and has a nice deep tone to it, if someone is able to host a movie, i could get a sound clip from my box, the ground wires help too guys, when the gear drops down, you don't get a kickback, you keep accelerating!

I can't wait to get the headers on ... I tried installing them the other day but I couldn't get the 14mm bolts off where the headers meet the exhaust. I only have hand tools and I couldn't break them loose. I am gonna try again this weekend ... Anyone got some tips on getting the bolts loose?

TheDanger

Mine made it feel more "together" in turning. Now I have hit my exhaust three times. 2 speedbumps and a deep pothole. Also the exhaust has no ricey tones. My brother described it as a european sound. Just nice and deep. Also mine has a slant which has burn a little bit of my cut out but I still love the slant.

Does it sound close to the one Scion sells?

FrankenScion

I replaced the TRD exhaust with this one. It sounds much better, much lower and not so ricey.
