DR GAS X-PIPE Question

hollywoodstang · Jan 16, 2009

Sup guys. I hope all of you are having a great new year!

I just bought a DR GAS X pipe and i was wondering if it will fit my 95 Convertible.

I took it out of the box and it totally looks different then my H pipe or other X pipe.

The "X" section is all the way in the front and not in the back!!! Is this gonna be a problem?

I am going to take it to the muffler shop to get it installed but i really don't want that guy shaking his head again. (I give him so much trouble LOL)

And also it does not have smog tube so i guess i will really have to ditch my smog stuff too...

Please let me know so i can get this done this weekend.

Thanks guys

Yeah, thats how they are, with the "X" up towards the front.

the exhuast shop can weld in the smog tube so you dont have to get rid of your equipment.

like Eddie said, that's just how they are.

The Dr. Gas usually has the X up front. They also tend to perform the worst of all the X-pipes on the dyno.

Not that I've seen, but I haven't looked at any side by side dyno tests that were recent. The last one I saw was a few years ago in 5.0 magazine or MM & FF. They tested a good number of the most popular intermediaries. The Dr. Gas came in dead last of the X-pipes, but still better than a traditional H-pipe. I think the Bassani, was the best of the X-pipes, and the best out of all was the Mac Powerchamber er prochamber or whatever it's called at 8 hp above the Bassani. The Dr. Gas was also the most expensive at the time. Unless they have changed their design recently, which I suspect isn't the case. I think Dr. Gas got the repuation, because they were the first company to offer an X-pipe for the stang.

What was he running before?

hollywoodstang · Jan 19, 2009

Do they fit well? or is it a headache to put on?

If the "X" part in the front is bad then i can just use just the "X" part and throw away the rest of the pipes...I have "H" pipe now so i can have the muffler shop weld the "X" in the backside if that's better...

And will it clear the under brace that convertibles have?

Thanks

the crossover should be as close to the engine as possible to promote the better scavenging. the dr gas unit comes in a bunch of pieces to custom fit it to your car. im waiting on mine to come in the mail as we speak. the sound from it alone is insane best sounding midpipe out there imo. dr gas got their reputation from nascar. they make and do a lot of the boom tubes and exhaust for the nascar teams. they do some awesome custom exhaust work. you can fit it yourself and use some clamps to mock it up then have it welded by an exhaust shop.

Sure it fits on a vert if ya buy the right one. Mine fit great.

hollywoodstang · Jan 27, 2009

Do you have under braces also? did you have to bang anything or bend? did it clear everything okay?

Thanks

Can't say I have any idea what underbrace you are talking about. I did not have to modify anything if thats what you are asking.

hollywoodstang · Jan 27, 2009

You know... verts have underbraces, The K-Member braces are what i am talking about.

Thanks

Nascar no longer uses X pipes. They have gone back to the old school H pipe style.
