X/H pipe for FI? (Supercharger) I know on NA and nitrous cars an x or H pipe helps with the scavengeing effect but is this really nescessary on an FI car? Spescifically a supercharged car (obviously).

don't count me as a tech, but i would say the supercharger definantly because there is nothing different in the exaust. even with a TT set up i would think it would help. single turbo would probably be close to useless though.

It will definitely help a supercharged car scavenge.
A twin turbo car... maybe help equalize the pressure in both turbos? Not sure what it would do if anything. But i don't really see it doing much in a TT car, especially with the way most TTs are setup piping wise.

A good X pipe will help, however how noticeable it will be is arguable and depends on the car. If you are building your exhaust, and can fit it, there's no reason not to. But I wouldn't redo your exhaust system or sacrifice ground clearance solely so you can add one.
Definitely not..
