currently i have :long tube headers, dual 3in exhaust,no-cats......Would an x pipe help me out

 

do you currently not have any kind of crossover pipe between the two exhaust banks?

yes a xpipe will generally help on a true dual exhaust

 

nope its all straight back

 

id reccommend some sort of a crossover pipe whether it be a xpipe or an hpipe

one is good for low end TQ and one is better for top end HP, but i cant remember which one is which

 

I actually lost a good amount of power and TQ when I did an exhaust with no cross over. Build it like this for the street.

3" pipe off headers, into a 3" x-pipe, out of X-pipe goes to 3-2.5" cone reducers into 2.5" pipe the rest of the way. Trust me, works good.

Sounds somewhat familliar Rick......

 

I like a single exhaust setup myself. Weighs less than duals and can/will support the same HP if it's the right size.

 

Hey Rick,
Can you quantify your statement? I mean how much power and torque did you lose with that setup? I assume no ORY either. I'm thinking about changing mine up while I still got it on stands. Thanks man.

 

ory=single exhaust, xpipe or hpipe = dual exhaust

 

as much as 30ft lb. If you have a cross over in the system, then any pressure or pulse now has a chance to go either way instead of relying on just one route.
