i want to build an X-pipe for my charger.
what is the common angle [if there is one] on most available "pre-built" units ?
30 degrees or so ? 45 ? all are different ? [can't be that much difference can there ?]
the headers have a very short, 3 1/2" collector. should i go 3 1/2" to the X, then 3" from there, or 3" right from the collector ?
TIA ! up

These are 45 degrees, 4 ", It's what can fit under the car. For the street I just slip on a pair of modified 4" supertrapps

I'd stay 3 1/2" all the way through. With the bullet mufflers there is no noticeable difference in ET and though it's way quieter than open headers, it's still too loud for the street which is why we slip on a couple of supertrapps. We just replace them with turndowns at the track. If you just want a quiet (ish) 2 muffler system, pick your muffler wisely, some are better than others when it comes to flow / silencing. up
Edit: You can make em out here cool

I ran the 3.5 pypes on my wedge. I ditched it for the new engine combo.
