Order status: Shipped

well its about friggin time you ordered that

suhweet! i bet theyre gonna sound nice...

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.

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

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.

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

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

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:

:) 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.

o0o0o cant wait to hear clips 8-)

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

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

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.

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
