Turning the ends so they face down is called dumping the exhaust where im from. Not sure what everyone else calls it. But it basically works like sub's in your car or truck. The more sound bounces the deeper it gets or something like that. Had a guy explain it to me years ago. I did it on my last mustang and the sound lots deeper and louder.

oh ok i understand what he is trying to say now because i cant just take the tailpipes off i would keep fumes inside the car but im going to put turn down pipes in the end and see how that works and im planning on ordering my x pipe or just hollowing out my cats on my h pipe right now..i think it would save a bit of money? anybody know how good it works to hollow out the cats becuase ive heard its just like not having them?

RE: Ordering New X Pipe Quick Question
Hollowing ou thte cats actually creates backpressure from the gasses swirling around in there. Sounds kinda funny too. As long as your car doesn't have a rotted out bottom, most of the exhaust should stay out. I would actuall put the turn downs at about a 45 degree angle. They would look like this from the rear of the car / \

Those will work. Some have more of a bend in the pipe. I would use these. http://store.summitracing.com/partde...p;autoview=sku

yeah and it should be cheaper to get it bent or atleast from a shop but then again i live in seattle and everything in seattle seems to be expensive... soim going to do some looking around tomorrow for them.

dumping the exhausst does sound great. I just did it last week on mine with 40 series flows. I did not put turn down tips on mine. i don't notice any fumes it all inside the car. But if you stand behind thecar... well thats a different story.

alright yeah im going to go to a few shops tomorrow but sorry for asking again just trying to clarify when you are saying dumping you mean out the back of the car facing down or right after the mufflers?
