Default x - pipe related...

I just put my headers on and I can't seem to choose which way would be the best to go, so I turn to you guys and gals for info...

I have hooker headers, I want to go with an x. What universal x pipe would be the best fitment wise....

SUMMIT?
FLOWTECH?
FLOWMASTER?

Thanks all.

You want an xpipe that is volumetric, like the one from Dr. Gas. Volumetric meaning it has the volume of 2 full size pipes, doesn't neck down from dual pipes to a single pipe size for the crossover.

For instance look at the xpipe in this picture of the Bassani xpipe:



It's volumetric because of how much more volume it has (as much as two pipes) compared to a single pipe.

It depends, what do they look like. If you have a pic or a link post up, I have seen some that are ok and some that aren't that great.
