X Pipe = some low end loss.....How do I fix it

[PEWTERPONY]

I knew my low end would drop with the X pipe, but I really want it back. How do I fix it? Should I go with an H pipe instead

I didn't notice any loss with mine....

Even if you did lose any low end, it will still run faster at the track.

I did the o/r x first then it felt like I gained the tq back with tb and plenum.

S281, Same thing happend to me in my last car and I put on a cai to balance it out. I think thats what I need maybe.

John......Im getting new gearing but 410s might be a lil much for everday driving.

Gino I have no doubt I run faster...My top end is off the charts and I love that. But I would like a well balanced car too

i didn't notice any significant power increase when I put O/R pipe on it, but when I put OEM pipe back on to get inspection done year later, I did noticed that OEM pipe have noticebly more low end torque. mainly due to 4 cats create more back pressure, which helps engine to make more low end grant.

Little loss, but thats price I'll more then happy to pay for significantly increased exhaust flow above 3000+RPM. and the sound of prochamber
Only way to get low end torque back is to put more back pressure(i.e. put cat on the pipe), that would defeat the propouse of O/R pipe
Another way to get more torque would be stroke it

4.10's aren't too much for daily driving.

i didnt notice any loss of low end HP w/ my xpipe. it actually made it soooooo much easier to spin the tires w. mine

bump the timing a little bit that should bring some of it back. o yea 4.10s would be nice too
