When I bought my Magnaflow X-pipe I wasn't initially thrilled with the tone change. I thought about selling it but decided that since I would lose money I might as well use it for awhile and then see if I would change my mind. Guess what? That was 9 months ago and I'm still using it. I love it! So, unless you have another reason for removing it I'd use it for awhile and then make your decision. Just a thought.
