Significant Technical Input Registered SVX
The pre-cat pipes have an inside diameter of 1.75".

Unless you are running funny gas or a blower/turbo, that size should be kept for about 46" past the factory header.

Since you are running NOX, I will defer to what the NOX guys say.

I've looking at this for quite a few months, and I would agree with SVXtasy that 2.25" primaries is too big. I think you would be fine with 2" or even 1.75" primaries.

like I mentioned earlier, i will be using LAN's stage 2 nitrous system in the future. So the pre-cats need to be removed. I am not using 3" in any part of my exhaust system because that is way too big. I think what Chike and I have drawn up, independently, is the ideal setup for the SVX if one were to use a dual muffler setup.
If you are going to be using a duel muffler setup why not just do true duel exhaust? you could do 2X2" back to the 2XCats then 2X2.25" form there to the 2X2.5" mufflers. But this is still very large volume. How much of a NOS shot are you going to be using? If I were using NOS I would be using this kind of exhaust system. However I can’t say that it will sound any good hope this helps. O ya don’t just take my word for it do some more research.

Now I won't say that... Pipe bending can be a real art in the aftermarket industry. Tom's work was excellent!

let me guess. The people over there can do it, maybe even better for cheaper than us??? amazing i must be somekind of mind reader. What do they do teach everyone how to do everything so just anyone can bend pipe to fit in an SVX? Wow, I am getting a little tired of hearing how you degrade other people's work. It is very hard to bend pipe so that all the angles work correctly without getting crimped. So please do not tell us that anyone can bend pipe like that, or else there would be no need for exhaust shops and such.
