Is there any advantage to using an X pipe in the system as far as torque, horsepower or sound/ Dave V | | | | | Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 5,201 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 5,201 | On the six cylinder, about all you will get is mellowed sound. The firing order is not right for the x-pipe do what it does to the V-8's. It will take out some of the harshness of the six cylinder exhaust notes, so that it's an advantage I guess. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,771 Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) | | Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,771 | Joining the exhaust pipes in any way will reduce or eliminate the scavenging effect of having a split manifold. The front/rear alternating of exhaust pulses is really the only reason for having duals on an inline six, other than the eye candy appeal of the system. Ditto for dual or triple carbs!
