exhaust question

Well in the winter i plan on doing dumps on the car, i was just going to go from each header straight back and a muffler on each side with a turn down. The question is, is a X pipe or anything like that nessesary?

Re: exhaust question

An X pipe is by no means necessary. Bear in mind that although exhaust flow may increase, your ground clearance sure won't.

Re: exhaust question

Which headers are you using? Do you mean you'll run the pipes literally straight back? If that's the case, you'll find out there's no room, you're going to need some bends in the way.

Im not sure what they are, i can get a picture of them if you want to see them, but yeah i noticed i will need to make some bends from the header to get it to the bottom of the car....
