X pipe

[Injectedcutty]

they're a pain to work around,i don't think i'd do it again.the v-band's are worthy investment View attachment 117089 View attachment 117090

Also, what diameter driveshaft is that and what size exhaust piping. Asking for a friend.

Ok, that's badass but even I'm not that OCD lol!!! It looks super clean and methodical like all of your stuff, and those sizes help me determine what stuff might fit with my 3.5" driveshaft.

it was a giant pita.that shaft is a little closer to the left muffler but there's room.

That's an absolute work of art! When I was attempting my 180 degree header project, a friend in the med equipment field told me about that method. I was really tempted, but didn't know anyone certified to rent one. I have to ask why you kept the 3 bolt flange after all that, though.

Yeah, on our roads here, not a good idea. Surgical Stainless Steel and tight welded wow. Worth more than my 88, everything in total I bet.

I don't care if an X pipe was worth 50 horsepower, I absolutely WON'T have another on any car let alone a daily driver like this car is. Once this system rots away it will be stock manifolds and true duals all the way back.

Not even for 50 horsepower? Dang

5 HP gain would be worth it !!
