I am just trying to figure out what X-pipe works and how long of an S-bend I need. My plan is to go to the rear axle and run turn downs from there.

I have also done this with the legs not flat so it actually curved down for angle also. Don't be hesitant to experiment. AN X AFTER THE MUFFLERS GIVES THE X SOUND AS WELL.

It's almost enough for a full exhaust (w/o tailpipes), all you may need to do is cut a bit, and add some straight pipes before the mufflers, then weld most of it. Then buy some turndowns. Mine was a bit more involved because I'm using Schumacher headers, and the collector is up and at an angle compared to regular headers.

I think I'm going to start with the s-bends and the X, then the mufflers and turndowns. 1969 Dart GTS 340 1969 Super Bee X9 N-96 1969 Coronet R/T X9 N-96 2015 Dodge Dart GT 2019 Ram 2500 Big Horn.

I'm still waiting on flow tests and drag strip testing showing how this design is better than the others ... since it's claimed the person who designed it is a highly acclaimed Exhaust designer/tester ??? I do feel bad though because the person that has it on there car is very proud of his car and I don't mean to be harping on that member. .

It sounds good with the Ultraflows, although I'm not sure I'd want to take a long trip with it. It has a howl that sounds very exotic. I was searching for information about the optimum crossover area so I could fab my own x pipe and ran across the attached article. Its not obvious in the picture, but the tubes run through the indents in the trans crossmember. The tubes are 3". EDIT: I am running 2.5" tailpipes from TTI, not downturns. 8104955-xfactorcolour.pdf (89 downloads) Last edited by dynorad; 04/07/14 05:02 PM.
