X pipe

Does a x pipe give you hp, i put on on my car today and it kinda made it quiter i was thinking it may cancel out the sound waves and make it queit, cause i got cherry bonbs so there strait through i would think it would be lounder. And does the x pipe go before or after the mufflers

All I gotta say is that the X-pipe works awesome, it just makes the engine smoother and less strained..I don't know it just feels right!

and it goes in front of the mufflers.

the x pipe is supposed to give you more power. What kind of x pipe did u get??

A X-pipe will give you more power in the mid to upper rpms. I have never heard an x-pipe, but from what I am told they will be quieter then an h-pipe.

I have a Dr. gas X-pipe and it goes in front of the mufflers, it made my car a little louder but the tone did change dramatically it sounds WAY better and it does give way better hp put some headers on and it will sound even better.

X pipe goes right after the headers.. also known as the mid pipe..

this is the x pipe i made

Biggest complaint I have heard about X-pipes is that they tend to give the car a raspy sound. Also I have heard that X-pipes and flowmaster dont work/sound well together, this is just something some people have said to me... I dont know if it's true or not cause I dont like Flows

Hey guys, I know I am not a Mustang owner but thought to share something. Here is an article from Car Craft that I read sometime ago comparing the open header, H-pipe, and the x-pipe on a Mustang. It looks like the x-pipe does make better power than any other setup.

Off topic but awesome GTA ozzy.

What engine do you have the 350 or the 305?

It's a 305 and factory handicapped with a peanut cam. I hate those GM engineers, what were they thinking. Anyways it needs a paint job and a cam change which are going to happen this fall, hopefully.

CRXsk8er, what is your x-pipe made of?

pipe is 2 1/4 fence post for a shain link fence! does my pic work of the x pipe can you guys see it? i dont know if i uploaded it right. thnk

Not to want to put your efforts down but I would not use the x-pipe you fabricated. An x-pipe built by some company like Magnaflow, BBK, Bassani, or any other company will give you the best flow because of the engineering behind the product. If you're on a budget as most of us are, taking a shortcut will probably be setting you back in performance and you'll end up being disappointed at the results.

i say give it a try - if it sucks take it off, it wasn't more then 50 bucks anyways. If it's tight you made it yourself, which makes it much cooler. i was impressed that you made it yourself.

The picture you have posted looks just like the X portion of the pipe. There are no flanges, brackets or bungs for the o2 sensors. Which means you would probably be welding it in line of your current catalytic h pipe? So if that is you plan just be careful, cause if something goes wrong you won't have the stock pipe to put back on. Good luck!

I would definitely have to disagree it gave my car such and awesom and mean sound, and I have flowmasters, with the x-pipe.
