I see you originally had the pony package grille. How did you replace it with the Eleanor grille you currently have?

I don't know who started saying that but they have the head up the *** problem. A X-pipe can be made to sound as deep and any h-pipe and way better exhaust flow to boot.

H-pipes and X-pipes are both primarily about sound. Separate exhaust pipes (no crossover) are the most efficient for our even firing V6's, and hence better for performance.

This is simply not true. Otherwise, would you suggest he add in a small section of 2" piping to add backpressure? Of course you wouldn't...

Here is the fundamental truth:
* More backpressure is always bad
* Less backpressure is always good

previous experiences, had 8 cars wich on most of them I tryed different exhausts, im not saying they would make a raspy sound like a k20 honda with no exhaust after the header, but yeah x pipes do have a raspier note on the top end, exhuast flow to boot?? what do you mean by that? cfm flow?
here some oxamples on multiple cars

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvBjesPpNT0 ooo yeah no difference right?
