Default X-pipe

Does flowtech make an x-pipe for their headers and if not which x-pipe to use?

You don't buy an X-pipe for a header the way you do a Y-pipe. At least not with our cars...yet. Dr Gas makes great universal kits and stand alone parts such as X-pipes.

Look into the bassani and TSP true dual system.

As they said dr gas is very clean inside, perfect cuts and fitment, clean edges. Ive also heard hedman is good but have not seen one, they are also cheaper.

I have a hedman. I think I have some pics of it at home from before I installed it, If I can find them I'll post them later tonight. I'm happy with it, pretty clean edges and the price wasn't bad.

Smile True Duals

Why don't you install true dual exhaust system with both pipes going over the axle and exiting out the rear from beneath the rear bumper in the stock locations and do away with that stupid "Y" pipe all togeather? With true duals all the way out you all pick up horsepower, torque and a sound that is fantasticly sweet. Also, with true duals there is none of that raspy sound. Just that sweet muscle car sound!!!
