The x pipes seem so expensive. How hard would it be to take two pieces and have them bent into the right configuration, flare the ends, grind the holes, weld them together, install braces on the top and bottom, and install. Too much trouble?

Are you running 40s on a big block?

I was trying to figure out if I was having detonation.

My brother has a 2004 Z06 vette and he had 3 dyno pulls done on it and then with out taking it off the rack, they put an X-pipe on it and it and did 3 more pulls. It gained 8 hp and the sound is totally different. Much deeper and more macho sounding than the pinging popping sound that he had before. The factory H-pipe definitely needs replaced on the Z06 in my opinion. And I couldn't tell you where he bought the X-pipe but if some one wants to know I could ask him. Ðäññÿ ..............

They make a cool 'X' pipe kit that was all : the rage for a while... not sure who to believe regarding the 'H' pipe : vs. the 'X' pipe.
