any of you fellas ever deal with the pypes performance exhuast? i have the h-pipe on my car right now and it sounds half decent, and i was wanting to get either mac long tubes or JBA shorty headers and the pypes catback. what do you guys think?

[chevy_killer]

pipes are pipes...it doesnt matter the brand all pipes are long tubes....but i would take it to a custom shop and have them pick out the stuff that would best fit it

hes talking about pypes brand. dont get the catback it sounds horribly ricey. go magnaflow or something else. pypes sounds horrible IMO

depends on the H pipe you have...
u have a pic or where u bought it from?

i have one question about exhaust...why does every body get x or h pipe instead of straight pipe

sounds really bad

if you have 2 straight pipes i think its more trouble because you have to have more support brackets. at least i would want them cause it doesnt look very steady

better flow andmore power

well, on a v8 it "flows better" but on 6er it doesnt matter for flow, only sound

no on my 69 i had straight pipes and there was no trouble....and there was only a few brackets to hold it in....but i was just curiouse because every one uses x or h pipe and i was thinking about getting straight

Now please correct me if im wrong, but because of the unequal firing order of the v8 you won't have an equalization of gasses if you have a true dual setup on the v8's?

what are you talking about

[Cricket]

i remeber someone told me that on the v8's you can't do true duals because of the unequalization of gasses...I don't know about the classics, but the newer late models I have heard that.

i have no idea about the newer ones but my 69 i had true duel exhaust 2 pipes 2 mufflers every thing and they were straight pipes...but the newer one i dont know......i dont know what there talking about when they say "unequalization of gassesunequalization of gasses" but ive heard a lot of weird things on this site tho

Yes the older vehicles ran "true dual" pipes.. they came that way from the factory in numerous vehicles, and there were kits to covert many cars and trucks over to true dual exhaust.

However, it has been common knowledge since the '70's at least that an H pipe (And now recently, X pipe) configuration has been more favorable in makeing more hp on most vehicles (NOT full out race vehicles....), increasing flow, and getting better torque.

You can put true dual exhaust on almost any vehicle, but you do need to add the correct hangers for it on most.

on Ford V6's in particular, a true dual would sound like complete and utter horseshit..... Well, ok.. actually almost ALL v6's....
