Benefits of X-Pipe???
Was thinking of buying and installing a Bassani Short X Pipe but would like to know what benefits this will be/ I have heard it will give approx a 5-7HP increase. No big deal really. But how will it effect the sound of my Borla Stingers?

I have the X pipe on mine...Its hooked up to my shorties and factory axle backs.It changed the sound a good bit being that the x pipe deletes the cats!If your keeping the factory cats then the sound will be nominal.As far as HP gains?I never dynoed to know what I gained.But I do know that you will get the most out your x pipe if you go with L/T headers & no cats(Getting ready to pull the shorties & install the L/Ts).Hp gains have been claimed to be in the 5-10hp range depending on your exhaust set up.

Well I cannot go with LT or remove the cats considering i live in the Republic of California. And the Bassani Short X-Pipe ties in behind the stock cats and is 50 State Emissions legal which is why i would go with it.

I have an x-pipe bassani w/cats and i love it!! It sounds soo mean and it did give me horsepower. I am not how much but it did. Surprisingly it passes here in Vegas Smog and all. I was afraid it would not at all. I get so many looks when i rev it up... What do you really want????

I am certain you are getting looks for more reasons other than just your exhaust. And i will just leave the last part of your question alone. Thanks for the input much appreciated.

if you don't touch the cats, don't expect much gain at all HP wise and sound wise. . . sound and hp are in the cats. . .
i have high flow cats. . . they pass emmisions, and give hp and sound, my recommendation
