I do not use one but some of the cars at the track use this set up. It does have a different sound.
I stayed away because it is a pain to take the system off and on and I do that a lot! Should be OK for a street set up, plus it does offer a little protection in case the drive shaft decides to let go.

I never understood the X-pipe. Two pipes into one. Excessive heat under the transmission. PIA to work around under the car.
I recommend you stay with the H-Pipe!

I don't like the sound of the X-pipes. It makes them sound semi NASCAR and raspy. The H-pipe is a little better. I run true 2.5 inch duel all the way back! They never cross and I like it that way with Flowmaster old school 40 series! Nice deep rich exhaust tones that come in the car and can be heard by any cop in the area when you get on it, but when you see them you can still sneak by with your foot off the gas! Oh yeah, that is power. Lol!
I think an Xpipe has been dyno-proven to create more HP and torque than an Hpipe. I have never in my life heard anyone complain about an Xpipe until this thread. Personally, I think they sound great! I may be biased though because I have one. As for a pain to put on and off the car to work on.... whats so hard about 6 bolts to the headers and two clamps on the muffler?
I have built/installed several X-pipes from Dr. Gas and I will never use anything else on one of my vehicles. You can't beat the performance and the sound is quite nice also. Anyone complaining about how hard they are to take off is either lazy or looking for a reason not to like them.....since when is it easier to take off the H-pipe? Exhaust work sucks period so you might as well have the best performing pieces available.

What about Dynomax's X-Pipe? Do you guys agree it is as good as Dr. Gas? I hope so it is being installed today. Maybe a little late but oh well. I am also having the 40s Flowmasters installed.

I have a Dr. Gas X-pipe too. I really like the sound of it. I cant compare it to not having a crossover pipe or a H pipe because my car had single exhaust before.

I want the X
I like the sounds of my system and enjoy having the X to hold up the T5 when I am taking it in and out.

Just went to go check out my exhaust set up with the X Sounds great not sure about how it will affect performance yet. Flowmaster 40s Dynomax X pipe and Chrome Tips.

Nope. Go to drgas.com and read up on how an xpipe works. All of the information you need is there
rebel: not all of the classic cars had straight exhaust like you describe. Some had a transverse muffler...like my GT390 and it was highly inefficient. The crossover helps reduce backpressure in the exhaust system. That is why the new Mustangs and cobras all come with them from the factory now. It is also why race teams use them...a cheap way to free up extra horses.
