Re: looking for new x-pipe exhaust setup Any certain reason you want to use the Bassani that the C5s use? How much is it? Most of the guys use a Doctor Gas X pipe, and have an exhaust shop fab up the rest of the tubes.
Might pick up p[ower, I doubt you'll lose any. And it will sound MUCH better and smoother than what you have now, no more fart at 2200-2500. I have MACs, ORP, Mufflex; I know how it sounds.....

Re: looking for new x-pipe exhaust setup just talked to a local shop guy who can bend 3 " pipe, so im gonna get the dr gas since this guys piping wont be as nice as the bassani anyway and then from there have him bend two 3" pipes going over the axle and out the rear thru 2 bullets.
i just wanna keep it going out the rear.
what should i do about the cutout? not use it or would it be ok to stick it on one side. i dont want to get another one cause then i would need another electric cutout.

Re: looking for new x-pipe exhaust setup im gonna go H-pipe style instead and have the guy custom make it. he is very reputable and says he can do anything i want.....so.....im gonna do the h-pipe with dual dumps, then route it over the axle, then dual dynomax bullets which i ordered and then the tips <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
decisions geez, decided to go this route since no one seems to do the h-pipe. plus he's doing all the work for $240.

any thoughts on this???

Re: looking for new x-pipe exhaust setup My exhaust setup consists of MAC headers, no cats, Dr Gas x-pipe system, Dynomax bullets, and turndowns before the axle. It sounds sooo smooth. No rasp at all. At idle, it purrs like a kittin and is relatively quiet. But, under WOT, it screams. I love it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: looking for new x-pipe exhaust setup I'm going Tuesday to a local shop to see if we can do an x-pipe with cats. I'm in emmissions land and figure I'll keep them. I have the FLP y-pipe now but it got destroyed last week so I'm hoping to benefit from my bad turn of events. Anyway, the ultimate would be an x-pipe with swappable cats/ORP like my y now, but I'm not sure we'll have the room. It's going to be custom because I'm lowered and have a Random Tech torque arm and BMR driveshaft loop, figure might have to get creative. Thoughts on cats in the x?
Re: looking for new x-pipe exhaust setup viper i'd go with car sound cats. there are a pair on ebay, email the guy i think its mufflerdeals@aol.com i think $59 a pair
Re: looking for new x-pipe exhaust setup I have Random Tech cats now with the FLP setup. I'm hoping to possibly have them allow me to keep the swap capability. If I place the cats farther back after the x, will that screw up emmissions? I know that's probably a question of whether or not they visually 'look' for them at all or in the stock location. My concern with adding the x after the cats is not getting the full scavenging effect of the x. Maybe I'm just stupid on that account but I'm thinking they can go directly after the random tech cats to an x, and either route them on both sides of the driveshaft or both along one side. I found this while searching tonight. What do u guys think? I'd like to see pipes on both sides but clearance might be a problem, and this guy ( on his site ) explained issues with the torque arm etc.

Re: looking for new x-pipe exhaust setup I'm trying to figure out how to make a set of Hooker long tubes(with 2 cut outs) run into an oval x-pipe and then into 2 spintech mufflers and then flow out to the axle and go over the axle to the stock tips(from the axle to the tips would be a round tubing) The spintech's might be out of the question and I might run to bullets out the back.
I want to run the oval tubing to save some ground clearance b/c it is going to be limited after the Pro Kit.
I believe Dr. Gas has an oval x-pipe and everything I will need to try this.
