I would think that if you wanted to put an exhaust hanger on the front, that one side would be more than sufficient. Doing a hanger on the other side looks like it would only be about 10-12 inches from the first, which seems unnecessary unless you just want it to match side to side (which it already won't because of the shifter cables). Heck, maybe even have the bracket connected more towards the center of the x pipe off the drivers side of the transmission. I can't wait to see what happens next! Love the progress

@scottmcclintock39427 күн бұрын
I appreciate the detail of your camera work and explanation of your thought process. Not being an exhaust mad scientist, it appears that the flow from each of the exhaust “headers” enter the X pipe and collide head to head rather than in parallel ( I am butchering my description). Will this create back pressure where in-flow and out-flow running in a traditional parallel fashion would not??? I am thinking that if the exhaust was a fluid for instance, and not a gas for example, that the rate of flow would be restricted by the collision of the two inflows. Well perhaps you can translate my thinking. I love these projects and I am planning LS-914 project currently and appreciate all the information you are providing. Missing the cats?? Thanks again.

I know exactly what you mean and I had that same concern. But in looking at all sorts of Ferrari 360 aftermarket systems (Kline Innovation, Fabspeed) - as well as some Porsche systems, they have this same sort of X-pipe configuration. So I don't think it's going to create any significant issues. But hey, we'll see. I can always make a different exhaust! ;-)

I appreciate the process and sharing the details of the build. Keep it coming. What is the difference in sound and performance between an X exhaust and a crossover pipe.

I will be nice to see the Fer. and the LS in a side by side display some day.

You know, I happily admit I'm no expert but: If you mean an X pipe and an H pipe, both improve exhaust scavenging and low-speed power (and help reduce/eliminate drone) but an X is supposed to bump high RPM range power. There's a bunch of science behind all this but I'm not after the last hp, just the Ferrari scream. We'll see how I did, once it's running. Wish me luck!
