building true duals; help me!
for those of you on cz28.com, this is posted over there too, but if figure the more people that can help me, the better.
i was hoping some of you that have done exhaust work in the past or have a better understanding of exhaust might possibly be able to help me. i am currently building a true duals setup for my drag car with 3" pipe, mufflers, and a crossover. the crossover is necessary, my car was barely able to idle before and right now that is the scape goat.
basically i am building this thing and the plan was to run an X pipe. i am building this right now and i think that making the x-pipe will sacrifice clearance ( a lot of it ) and will require some fancy curves. i am thinking about just running an h-pipe between my driveshaft loop and my trans mission crossmember. I figure that there is enough clearance to do it, it would be a lot easier, and then i wouldn't have to worry abuot muffler placement because i would have all the room behind my torque arm's crossmember. i posted some pictures underneath of my plans. the light blue is the H and red is the X. let me know what you think.
