I have an 01 as well. Replaced with off road H pipe, single chamber flows, and dumps. When idling or going slow, sounds pretty nasty to be a 6, surprised the hell out of me. yesterday, a man would not believe it was a 6, he made me pop the hood. But when at high rpms sounds like ****! And yes, lost quite a bit of low end torque, even with the crossover.

What I did to gain power with the same system was to run 2.25" piping to the mufflers and upped it to 2.5" about 10" before entering the mufflers. Then I installed a VAP lower intake spacer, then boom! I got great low end torque. Please post a couple of videos of your cars exhaust so I can hear it. You are the only other person I have come across with same set-up as myself.

I actually gained alot of my low end torque by adding a new x-pipe and deverting away from my h-pipe. the x pipe has a 3 in outlet with 2.25 exhaust. It got rid of alot of the ricey drone it had and gave it a nice tone.

My new parts will all be in within two weeks- Headers, cats, ProChamber, FM 10's & CB Extremes (one on each side-to be different), tailpipes, and SLP tips.
Can someone here PLEASE give me a listen to their single chamber exhaust?? Fell like I'm on a deserted island here. Please.
