What is it about this pipe that makes it flow better than others? I've heard a lot about it lately on the board and i'm just wondering how much better is it than the rest. I'm getting ready to install a BBK o/r x on my car. HOw much better is the Dr. Gas? how much does dr. gas cost??

There is a Dr Gas X in my future for my '04 GT.
I have decided on welded 40 series flows and that.
Check out their site for more info:

I heard because the X is closer to the engine if you look at BBK, Bassani, Magnaflow and SLP you notice the X is far away.

It was a warm day in front of the TV back in February of 1995 when I first got my taste of the good Doctor. I was watching the Daytona 500 and this car sounded like no other when it went around the track. It was Sterling Marlin in the #4 Kodak car. He was the only one in the field with a Dr Gas X pipe and his car sounded like an F-1 car going around the track. Ever since then, I knew I would have one.

If you do the install yourself like I did it's a PITA doing the welding even for a experienced welder. If you pay to have it done it will be nothing joyness since I love this X-pipe's sound

For the prices i've seen, i think i'll stick with the BBK i paid 150 for. Not to mention the extra cost and trouble of welding it in

It's proven no Xpipe flows better but the install is a pain. I had it installed at T&J and it didn't look fun. Sounds as deep as an Hpipe and very mean.

Does it rasp with flows? I would love to hear/see some clips since there aren't any for the 4.6 on mustangexhaust.com

Tim has the dr gas and flows on most of the cars at his shop and it sounds awesome.

I think I am the only one that did not like it. The sound in my opinion was alright.(mated with spintech prostreets) The pipe quiet the car down alittle compared to a h-pipe, and also lost some of the rumble.(higher pitch sound) Just too smooth for me. Anther problem was that since the X crossover is below the engine it sits real low. I lowered my car with Eibach Sportlines and I scrape everywhere I go. I ended up going back to a H-pipe with MAC flowpaths. The Dr. Gas X-pipe still sits in the garage. But until I make gobs of power where the X-pipe will actually help I will just use a H-pipe for the sound. Everybody has their own opinion.

I have been thinking about pickin up a dr gas x pipe, but I dont know which one to get. On the website there are two options, one for "shortie header crossover system," or "MAC/BBK long tube crossover system." Will either of these fit on stock headers? Or do I need to get a set of headers to go with it? Thanks for the info, I dont want to buy the wrong one....

You need the one for the shortie headers (stock manifolds)

Ah!!! maybe not.... from the website "These shortie/stock manifold systems do not fit under automatic transmissions." So this means I cant get one?!?!?

Different overlap being a chevy, but I run a 3" dr gas xpipe with a borla stinger catback on the vette and it sounds really mean. Lots of booming, low end bass when you get on the throttle. Not raspy at all.

Netted higher dyno numbers than a magnaflow pipe I had on before. Probably 8 rwtq in the mid range to red.
