im thinking of putting an x pipe insted of the h pipe on my CS, what do u guys think?? any body did it??

 

I am also interested. Any thoughts on changing to x pipe

 

What would this benefit?

 

From my understanding, the X-pipe will "blend" the exhaust, giving it a deeper sound. It's not quite as loud as having separate pipes. Someone who has an X-pipe, please chime in yo provide more information.

 

An x-pipe merges the exhaust gas pulses and combines that with a scavenging effect to pull exhaust gasses from the cylinders that are on the opposing side of the engine. The x-pipe helps to create a vacuum effect. Of course, in merging the Ex. gas pulses sound is also blended and this gives the v8 a smoother note and almost eliminates backfiring and popping when letting off the gas.

I personally have used them on naturally aspirated v8's and they rock! There is a big debate whether or not they work on turbo cars because of the turbine wheel in the path of flow.

Dr. gas is the originator of the x-pipe and they started in use on the nascars. He also makes ovalized tubing and some really sweet bends and such for clearance purposes. I used his spin-tech mufflers and they sound amazing. Now he has one called x-scream. Check it-

 

I agree...I have used X pipes on naturally aspirated V8's with great success (mainly Ford 302's). Would probably be worth experimenting with.

I think for turbo applications the main benefit would be smoothing out of the sound...however, it could get the exhaust gasses out of the actual exhaust system faster too though.

 

I'm planning on getting a Leistung Xpipe and downpipe soon.
