I did some research on this a long time ago and while the husker x-pipe looks good it's not the best for flow. If you look at it the exhaust from both 2.5" or 3" pipes must flow thru the intersection of the X. That means they both have to neck down and flow thru a 2.5 or 3" cross section area before splitting back to dual 2.5 or 3" pipes.
The other X-pipes have the extra area and volume at the intersection for better flow. Just something to think about, even though I'm sure it would work fine.

I used that x-pipe for my duals and it was an awesome piece. The quality was amazing for the price. The guys at the exhaust shop even commented on how nice it looked compared to others they have seen.

Looks damn good to me, just ordered one for my duals. Beats paying $100 for headman or dr.gas.

I honestly think Dr. Gas jacks up their prices because they say they're used on "nascar".

Um, many Nascar guys do use them... I've spotted them in crashes when cars are rolling.

Dr. Gas! builds their X's a certain way - to specific specs regarding the angles, diameter of the crossover hole, etc.. Lots of R&D goes into all their products. It's patented for a reason.

You do get what you pay for.

i used that same X pipe with my duals, i was amazed when i got it, how well it is made, and screw paying $100 for dr. gas.
the one or two hp, if any, isnt worth the extra $$$ to me.
