I have an 2002 x-type 2.5. Does the exhaust naturally have a little rumble to it? I don't hear any serious exhaust leaks when outside the car. But when driving it, it has a rumble (exhaust) that seems to come from the front of the car. I'm hoping there is no exhaust leak, I think i hear a very small one when outside the car, but nothing serious.
also....i need to replace a fog light lense. Any one know of a good place to purchase?

It does have a nice low pitched rumbly growly tone but that comes from the rear. If your hearing it from the front and it sounds like a leak its prolly what were talking about in the 2.5 noises thread. read it. Thinking its something with the header or manifold gasket on 02 2.5 x types.

Your particular year has had a problem with the manifold gasket...one side could have developed a leak....depending which side it is (front vers rear) it can be an expensive job, especially for the rear since they may have to pull the engine out to get to it....
as for your fog lights...I haven't seen anybody out there selling just the lens....Factory new assembly can cost over 100 I think, but if you look on eBay they usually have the entire fog light assembly for about 40 bucks, with bulb....sometimes a used one in great condition for 20.....( I bought 2 new assemblies for 45 a month back)

I like the look of the Borla back boxes.
I think i might treat myself to one if these for Xmas now that £1 is worth about $2 its getting cheaper all the time to import parts from US.
5 years or so ago when I had my modded MR2 Turbo I used to import parts from California when it was only $1.39 to the £1.
Racepages.com here I come

I'm not sure about racepages.com Here is where I bought mine from, I know they work and you will have all the parts, and they are guaranteed for 1million miles....

Yeah that sound clip sounds sweet but it kind of makes me think about what sounds it makes when the car is idling down the road? Is it tolerable or does it sound like a flowmastered mustang or does it sound like a rice burner? My buddy had a flowmaster on his 94 3.8 liter bonneville and it sounded awesome but a little loud.

No, that sound clip you hear is from the outside of the car. Inside, you hear a very sweet purr..or a bit of rumble...can't really describe it, but it's noting getto....fits the cars. Only time you really hear it is when you're foot is in it....a sweeet loud rumble that makes people say what the hell does he have in that thing...I better not mess with him....lol
People told me that it looks stock and sounds nice. Once again, well worth it.
