Default Dr. Gas X-Pipes

Who has them? How do you like them? One thing I noticed on the 3" Late Model Xscream is that it is only a 1 inch gap between the tubes. What is the purpose of that?

Dr Gas makes the best crossovers on the market IMHO. The only one(that I know of) that's patented. I've used them on F-bods for over 4 years now.

Ok and the 1 inch seperation after the crossever isn't a big deal? Why do they put the pipes so close like compared to TSP TD's?

I have to agree with Lane, Dr. Gas X's are great quality. The system he fabbed up for me has more than a 1" gap between the pipes though, but either way it wont hurt performance or anything.

I dont think that Late Model Xscream is a system intended for street use. In fact it looks like a system made more one of the stock cars, i.e., Nextel, Bush, ARCA, etc.

That system attaches to a boom tube I believe. Their regular street version x reall doesnt look any different than a regular x.

I know that Lte model pipe is under the camaro/firebird link but there are alot of pipes sunder that link that are not for our cars.

here is a link that mopst people are talking about using on our cars

The xSream Universal X junction only is $109, I'm running one. Honestly I think they're way overpriced for a mild steel piece. All it is, is 2 bends with the bellies cut out welded together. If you're building a custom setup get your fabricator to make you one out of 2 45* bends. If I had gone that route I'd have 100% stainless mandrel-bent duals.

Because you are looking at a Tandem X instead of one that is split...Tandem meaning after the X they come back close together. It should be this one that you are looking for....

You are seeing the one in the top left I think...and you want one that looks more like the other 3. The other 3 will be the ones that Lane is talking about and using them on the F-bodys.

The Dr Gas stuff is made up of 2-90's.

yeah, lane here made my duals, and the Dr. Gas is a great way to make more torque down low and hp up top, because it helps increase velocity! ALSO sounds TERRIFFIC!

If you are fitting these on an F-body you need one of the other three besides the one in the top left of the picture. They are ~100 bucks.
