lost torque
I got the exhaust on the other day (2.5" true duals with 40 series flows dumped) I definately feel a loss in low end power. I did an H-pipe and put the wideband o2 in the H. Do you think an X-pipe (being more restrictive) would help revive the dead down low? I miss the torque.

Hey Retsell, are you saying you can still feel a loss low end even with your Radix? I am just asking cause I am about to true dual my 5.3, but I was going to go with the X pipe. Then next month I am going to hopfully get my SC, an I thout it might relly help haveing true duals with a SC. If you do swap your H pipe for a X pipe, let me know if it helps it any. Cause I have been trying to find out what will really happen when I do this. Thanks

H and X just help balance exhaust gases, they are about the same in terms of performance I'd say.
I don't see why you lost power going to dual as you're FI now. Perhaps it leaned you out too much? Also recall, Flow's sound better than they flow...

IMO it sounded like ****. It sounded like 2 glass packs under water. I went back a few hours later and had him put on 2 40 series (non-delta flow) mufflers. Even though the magnaflows flow better, I now have 2 mufflers instead of 1 and no cats, so I know I doubled the flow which is more than enough, too much I think because I lost a decent amount of low end torque.
