Brakes are on their way.

Awesome, I will give you a call today (since it is midnight )

What about the rocket launchers and the torpedo tubes?



WHAAAAT!?!?!?!?

Thanks but, I regret that the term "x pipe" means nothing factual to me. Am I to assume that there is an interconnection between the the two pipes within the casing? It is that which is my main interest.

If so why? Performance? Pretty sound? cost? Ease of mounting? Novelty value?

reminds me of CA,,, unfortunately i have witnessed a few of these rocket launchers!!!!! they are quite "powerful" in a certain point of view!

0 to a thunder-rocketbolt in 2 secs,,, priceless,,, untill i impound them,, muahha ,,, whaat?

From Magnaflow's website;
" Smooth Transitions
Stamped Y-Pipe and Tru-X Pipe transitions are great for single/dual, dual/dual and balance tube applications. MagnaFlow's stainless steel Tru-X crossover pipe represents a significant leap forward in technology over traditional H-pipes. The more gentle radius allows for better exhaust gas scavenging, noise cancellation and better balance between cylinder banks. The result is a significant increase in power and torque but a reduction in db sound levels... the best of both worlds. "

On a uneven firing engine, all American V-8s, it has shown to help power.

Our engines are even fireing, and with a true dual work like two seperate 3 cylinders.
Had YT known about the X-Pipe in the muffler/resonator, he would not have gone for that design.
But his new system does flow better than the last one, due to larger diameter pipes, mandrel bends, and of course the headers.
When he gets it to the track his trap speed will be higher than last time.

I am thinking about gutting my exhaust, and switching to just straight pipes headers to bumper. I also would like it to be a "true dual" exhaust. So i was thinking, the 3300cc will be split into two 1.6(close to 1.7)cc. So kinda like all the civics are. Those can run 2.5 in exhausts, but cause ours is only 3cy on each side, I was thinking like 2in, or maybe even 1.75? I know our cars have this whole thing with back pressure, and since my car is currently N/A, I want to still have that bite to match the bark. Any help would be appreciated.

tom has the best setup for N/A applications... A straight pipe exhaust would be even louder than mine... god forbid... and would decrease bothj top and low end power... OT has the exact design for great sound and optimal performance

You have read my mind and answered my problem; i.e. how could an informed person, by intent, use such an arrangement on the SVX.

I can now sleep in peace

You are on the right track, particularly in regard to going for a small pipe diameter. I would like to see someone run two 1.75 - 2" dual straight pipes into the OEM big tank of a muffler, so that it would serve as a plenum chamber, This would not be an expensive experiment.

Alternatively twin free flowing mufflers, fitted well aft, could be a superior alternative, but would involve a little more outlay.

Your idea of basing your thoughts on other known applications is also good thinking, when little tangible evidence is available. All the theory in the world is not worth a little practical logical experimenting.

I might have you matched already, I am currently running it just off the headers. It stops right before the third-cat. Everything from there back is gone. Me and my friends did a sound test, and they could hear the car about 200yds away, with traffic on ogden ave.

I was asking about laying up some pipes, becasue I am slighty anoyed by the vibrations it makes in the cabin.

Trevor, I was thinking about maybe gutting all the cats, and running the exhaust into the muffler with just the stock opening, and doing that muffler mod I have heard about on here.

Well, it wasnt my intention to start a pissing match. I just like loud cars, I think its funny as hell to make ppl jump, and piss off old people in my neighborhood.
