Is everybody that runs a x-pipe system with bullets.....

runnin 3inch all the way?

How do the Borla XR-1s sound with this setup? Would the power gains between the Dynomaxs and the XR-1s be about the same? And, does anybody have a soundclip of either?

I felt I even lost some low end grunt by going soo big on a bolt on car <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> ...equivalent flow to 4.25" of single piping.. <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Getting setup for the big hp.........

Mine is all bolt-on car as well.

I was wondering about the loss of low end tq, but I have a ST3500 in the car, so I should be alright, correct?

if your going to stay bolt-on, i would go with 2.5" duals. more clearance, easier to get over rear-end, and adequate flow.

btw....i'm not going over the rear-end. I'm gonna have it turned down before the axle <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Is everybody that runs a x-pipe system with bullets.....

I have 2.5" dumped before the axle and it makes great power. I'm running nearly the same times as I was in perfect weather(-660 to +1500 DA). Only other difference is a pulley. I have Dynomax bullets and love the sound as well. No clearance issues whatsoever.

But, I will go to 3" when I go inside the motor. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
