well its about friggin time you ordered that

[Brando56894]

suhweet! i bet theyre gonna sound nice...

[WayFast84]

i have a question it sounds real stupid but is that a true x pipe? it looks like to bends to an x but doesnt look like it flows through. But i also dont know if thats how x pipes are or are not.

That's how they all are. It's just the shape of the pipe. I think there is one for the C5 that flows where it connects, but not the F-bod.

[Jersey_TA]

Definitely. Heads, and 242/242 cam......it will sound ok ;)

[Jersey_TA]

well its about friggin time you ordered that

Just got my new debit card today finally. It's the first thing I did when I got off the phone to activate it lol.

[deadtrend1]

should upgrade that from the x-pipe to a dual O-Pipe .. :)

[Rich189]

just curious if your going to leave some mock tips back there or something.... i dunno how its gonna look with the empty cut outs there but im sure its gonna sound absolutley badass

[deadtrend1]

might be worse looking. The exhaust hangs pretty low and is noticeable all around. and then exeryone would see fake tips ...

ahahahahaha nothing like maximized back pressure

I can always convert it to a full exhaust later, but I don't plan on keeping the tips. I know 4 people who have had it on their cars/seen them and there is definitely an empty space back there. Ofcourse I'm not going to mind it lol.

I thought the purpose of an x pipe was to have both banks of the exhaust intersect to balance the pulses better or something. I know H pipes connect, I thought x pipes did too. I dont know, I've only ever run H pipes :shrug:

[qwikz28]

:) i love that exhaust. i wish i wasn't such a bitch and could man it out. i would have kept the one i bought :(

H pipe is for balance. X pipe supposedly one bank will help 'Pull' the exhaust from the other bank. Them Ferd guys swear by it ... :)

I don't know really. I'll take alot of pics on the install though.

i know x-pipes help a little bit with backpressure. if i'm not mistaken, cammed cars hate backpressure so he'd benefit more from a h-pipe

I thought it would be the other way around and the H pipe creating more back pressure. IM no expert, just guessing .. lol

:werd: I always thought that

that's rasptastic.

You're just jealous because my car runs/drives/races ;)

[Jersey_TA]

You know I will be posting up a before and after. I already have the before :)

[ins0mnia24]

Yeah a true X-pipe will join both pipes together on the inside to smoothen and scavange the exhaust gases just like a merge collector on a header
in an attempt to pick up a few Hp
An H pipe will scavange in the low-mid rpm range Vs. a Proper X-pipe merge will scavange in low,mid and high rpm range more efficiently than the H pipe..
That is why alot of the Nascar set-up's switched to X-pipe systems.
The other benefit is a reduction in exhaust sound decibels
Sterling Marlin won the 1995 Daytona 500 being the 1st use a X-pipe system in Nascar in order to give him the advantage of picking up a few more Hp than the other drivers.
the story about it is here.
http://insideracingtechnology.com/drgas.html

Most people don't even know you can the same advantages of an X-pipe just by using a Proper Y-pipe merge vs just cutting/splicing 2 pipes to together in order to join them to a single pipe.
You can pick up 2-7 hp just by using the proper Y merge depending on howmuch Hp your car makes and CFM you engine requires to where a single pipe might not support the Hp vs Dual pipes.

so does my ford, and it doesn't even have a raspy exhaust :p

Eh I don't mind

Yes, but two things

#1- his TA > Everything Ford has made up to and includingl 2002
#2- Him > You

After you factor in those two things, it really doesnt matter.

YAY for the BBOD!!!!! :) I wish I had a fast fancy car to put that on. LOL. *Needs to sell the slowsky* The BBOD hasnt missed much on the roads lately...good time for it to be down.

[Jersey_TA]

Holy crap. they delivered it to my old address even though I listed my current address as both my billing and delivery address. WTF drove over there like a madman and got the package from the landlord that just signed for it and put it in the empty house WTF was she thinking.

[ChickenLittle]

i still want those firehawk rims. watch them like a hawk on 37 :mrgreen:

Hey didn't you have a set on your old car? lol. These need to be re-chromed. 3 years of salt and SLPs crappy manufacturing has them pitting on the inside like the rest of them and the chrome is slightly peeling.

LOL wouldn't be that hard to steal them shhhhh....oh wait..lol

[ChickenLittle]

yeah...my first 95 TA came on the car, moved them to that CLEAN 95 in 05, but there were bends (gotta love the hood and the effing potholes). ll over the web, folks are asking STUPID prices for them, plus no one makes an 11 inch version. They were peeling inside on mine too, but no biggie, we have a chroming house in town...


oh and thanks for the tip:-P :mrgreen:

[Jersey_TA]

Awww crap lol ;)

[Demonicbird00]

the x pipe is connected to both banks, it actually creates more tq then an H pipe.

mine look fine w/out tips back there, plus it weighed 27lbs less then a catback.

i just figured u might mind because all anyone will see is the back of your car :nod: and ive never seen a ta with no tips

[CJDZ24_Z28]

Rob, I was thinking of going with the Rumbler for my SS It also sounded great on Demonic's car when I heard it on Saturday. But I put the rumbler on hold for a minute when i seen this

http://i14.tinypic.com/2hflyq8.jpg

http://i14.tinypic.com/43ge0sm.jpg

I almost busted a nut when i seen and heard it in person at Atco.. It cost a little over a 1,000.00 and you have to drive to Long Island to Kooks shop to get it done. I may get one this summer.

Here is a video of the exhaust.

[JerzLT1]

hey brandon your exhaust looked like it was hanging lower then that when we all left the road house.looked really low from behind actually

[Jersey_TA]

what exhaust did you have on it when I met you?

I had an offroad y with a flowmaster cat-back.

[Demonicbird00]

yeah its cause im lowered, no biggie, its fine.

yeah that TD system look nice, but theres no way in hell im spending over $1k for that system, just my opionion.
