RE: X pipe dyno results

Yea I knew there wasn't a loss when converting to an x or H pipe, any true dual system with an x or h pipe is going to give better performance on any V'd motor like a V6 or V8 (meybe not by much but it is more) I just didn't have the proof. They wouldn't design the stuff for are car if it was going to give a loss. lol

I laugh cause everyone was so paraniod about going to dual's and loosing power. Loose smooze I knew it!! I just Knew it!!! I knew it did'nt hurt the car!!

I just have'nt been around as long as you older folk out there so I kept quit till someone did a dyno. lol

Thanks again Ryan

No problem. I do think I am losing low end TQ with the X, but gaining it back on the top end...which is fine.

That's 'cause your pipes are too big...

With any luck, the shop should be done with my GT bumper today - so I'll get the 2 1/4" system installed and go get a baseline dyno.

RE: X pipe dyno results

That might be to small of a pipe? Thats what I had on my Camaro 2.8L motor FI V6. The 4.0l v6 is bigger so I would imagine that would be to small But Im not a proffesinal so we'll see. I would go with 2 and a half in stead of 2 and a quarter piping. This will be interesting

Yeah, my gut tells me 2 1/2" - but I come from the big block world. I figure it'd be interesting for the group for somebody to do a full 2 1/4" dual system, just for comparison. I just dropped it off, so it will be done by the end of the day. I probably won't get on the dyno until the end of the month, though.

RE: X pipe dyno results

Ive got 2 1/4" duals, just cause the exaust shop recomended it for the v6. It cant hurt it because it comes with a single outlet from factory. Unless you've got power adders, i would say 2 1/2" would take away too much back pressure...because you do need some.
