Clearances is awesome, but the x pipe itself doesn't look too impressive.

The inside of it looks jagged. Like it wouldn't flow well. Any chance for a dyno comparison before/after? My TSP x pipe looked a lot smoother than that Flow x.

yeah, its really decieving in the pics, but its actually very smooth (minus the metal shavings you see in the pic, I washed all that out first). Its actually angle cut before and after the cutout between the 2 pipes for a smooth transition.
Just for fun I stuck a hairdryer in the pasenger side inlet, and it created a pretty strong suction on the driver side inlet. I know that in no way is it scientific, but that didnt happen with my old x-pipe.
sorry, no comparo, I wish I couldve gotten one.

I was trying to figure out a way to do a clip or video, but, I dont have the proper equipment. I'll get some friends to check around and see if they can get ahold of a camera so I can post a vid.

Nice. I had the exact same setup on my 02 Z but with a Heddman X-pipe. Best sounding setup I've heard. I'm going to do the same on my '01 when I get around to putting headers on it. Amazing sound and you'll always get noticed, whether you want to or not

Looks really nice man.. Curious, is your car lowered any & could you possibly ge a pic of the clearance of the mufflers with the car on the ground? I'm really liking this set up of yours. Thanks!

Looks great, but there doesn't look like much of a merge in the x-pipe. At any rate I still wish I had Dumped TD's how much was the X-pipe.

Thanks! No, its not lowered. I got 4.25" of clearance all the way around, and close to 4" at the muffler. I wouldve got a lot more if I had of went 2.5" instead of 3".
I can get you a pic of the clearance no problem!

Mine was pretty loud inside. Hard to carry on a conversation. But I'll probably do the same setup on my 01 when I get around to putting TD's on it. The sound was damn good.

I dont have much at all. With the windows up, its pretty tame. When I had a traditional x-pipe w/ these exact same mufflers it was really bad! couldnt hear the radio, and it rattled everything.
Comparing the 2, the sound on the outside is the same, but my new setup is a little deeper.
