hey everybody im doing my jet hot lt install and i was thinking about going the x pipe route instead of getting a y pipe made for my slp lm...if i was going to do the x pipe id do 3 in pipeing ending at the rear axle with no muffler just turn downs..well which setup will be louder and gain more hp??thanks for the advice

 

Louder- Duals
More Power- Duals

Pretty Simple.
If you want me to get more detailed i can (and have done in numerous previous threads).

 

Duals Will Be Louder and more Power

 

will i lose any lowend from getting duals??

 

Check out the low rpm graph comparisons.

 

You probably aren't pushing enough power to have 3" piping...2.5" should work just fine...

 

I did duals with Bullets. 2.5" piping with 3" Bullets. You can do 3" if you want, but only if you have more plans in the future. I mainly went with 3" because I have a 383 stroker plan for the summer.

 

Would an all forged 355, H/C and all other mods in my sig call for bigger piping than 2.5"?

 

Yea 2.5in is fine unless your well over 4-500rwhp. I've been thinking of goin to an x-pipe but im not sure if i want to give up the h-pipe sound yet. The only reason im thinking about the x-pipe is that I just cant get any traction in 1's gear. The h-pipe has gobbs of torque down low. Dont get me wrong, i love the torque but i hate having to get into 2nd gear just to start a race.

 

2.5" might be fine, but I would do 3" if it was my car. That's only me though so...

 

can i get some pics of an x pipe setup to show the guy at the shop to go by??thanks it will be a big help

 

Im hoping after all is said and done (XE 230/236 is in and matched up to a set of Lloyd ported heads) along with a forged 355 set up...to be putting right at or over 400 to the rear wheels...maybe a 150-175 shot after the bottom end is worked up...
