I have seen the longtube headers going into Y-pipes, but why doesnt anyone use an x-pipe and continue with Duals?

Ive heard one on another car and they sound increadible, not choppy at all. Its soo smooth...

 

Take a look under your car and notice the overwhelming lack of space. That's why.

heres one pic
im in a rush ill post more later

 

that is a nice set up. I'd like to see some pics of the mufflers and where they mount to the headers and then the x pipe. Nice!

 

I'm in Vancouver and I know the guys that built that x-pipe. I think they were gonna stop building them. They'd rather build exhaust right on the car or something so its perfect every time.

Check out what I got on mine.

 

Magnaflow 4" round mufflers and hooker tips

 

The car is lowered 2.5"+ on the front and I have a bit of difficulty on speed bumps oh well, the rest of the time no scrapes

I think it sounds like a Lambo, my friend says its like a Aston Martin Vanquish
In tunnels it sounds like a whole bunch of cars racing through at the same time, but its just me. I LOVE IT!!

 

ne1 know if they have a site addy or some way to get in touch with these guys for that X-pipe???
i wanna put true duals on my 83 frebird and that be perfect for it.

better then payin the shop 800 like they want

 

heres one on a friend's 4thgen TA... it was a little too loud for daily driving.... but once he added the cats it was perfect...

 

$800 for 3"!!! OMG......

Our local place put on a complete true dual 3" system (I supplied mufflers) For $100 on my camaro

 

I run hedman ellite 1 5/8 shorties, dual 2 1/2" into an x pipe and into 2 1/2" bullet mufflers. The turndowns in that pic have been cut off, bullets sound way better without pipe after them.

 

no dude said $800. there's another local shop that i havent had the chance to stop by and talk with bout a true dual system that did my mustang exaust,but i had to get everything re-weld'd after i got my exaust done there.
