custom x-pipe question
Performance wise does it matter how far forward or how far back the accual X is placed. I have a spohn torque arm and don't have room in the middle where the X is usually placed. However if I wait and put the X after the torque arm crossbrace I may have room, but I'll only have 6" to a foot of pipe on the back of the X before the dumps. Will putting the X all the way at the back be a bad idea? If so I'll just run a H-pipe between the tranny cross brace and the torque arm crossbrace.

Actually, the further up the X pipe is, the longer the legs after the X pipe will be, and this is what creates the scavenging effect to bolster torque production down low. It probably wont be enough of a difference to be noticeable, but if you wanted to split hairs....

Thanks for the info. I acually was ordering some other things from Summit last night so I ordered the H-pipe since shipping isn't any more. After reading this I wish now I would have bought an X. But really I don't think there will be a huge difference in performance between the X and H
