Default IS IT WORTH MAKING YOUR OWN X or H-pipe?

Thinking about making my own ture dual set-up just trying to come up with some ideas. It seems like I could make the pipes from the collectors back then just cut a hole in the side of the pipes and weld in a h pipe.

the H pipe is pretty basic to make...jsut as you describe.

the X takes a bit more work welding, but not much. take 2 90* bends and cut off part of the bend...weld together.


Hpipe sounds better
Xpipe make more power
