Anyone put mufflers directly on the header?
This is a track only car....
I just installed a Spohn TQ w/ DS loop and now my X-pipe system must be re bent in order to fit. I was thinking of just putting about 1 ft of pipe of the headers and then taking my flowmaster 1 chambers and putting them on the end of the pipe with turndowns. So in other words, it would almost be just headers and mufflers. Has anyone done this? Will there be any loss in power? Will it sound any different than the X-pipe, other than it being a little louder?
Thanks

I seen a few people putting bullets after the headers. I hope your car is stock heigth because you could get some major scraping. Also, the drivers side pipe will have to be bent down then back up to clear the floor but that should be no big deal.
