Double X pipe added, and it's still clapped out 😂

[@fish_R_stinky69]

I like clappy exhausts.

[@FirstnameLastname-pe5ib]

That's cause x pipes don't do what he's claiming they do. They usually just make it more high pitched. What he needs is back pressure, muffling or resonating. So unless the x shaped pipes are resonated they won't do shit to improve the sound.

[@AmericaFirst069]

​@@FirstnameLastname-pe5ibH pipes give you better low end torque, X pipes perform better in the higher rpm range.

[@jadenbastien4160]

​@@FirstnameLastname-pe5ibAgreed. A resonated h pipe on my catback made a huge difference

[@FirstnameLastname-pe5ib]

@@AmericaFirst069 Im aware. But adding another won't improve power. And if it's non resonated it will NOT improve the sound whatsoever.

Did exhaust professionally for 4 yrs, and I would have put a dual in/out Flow master Super 40 where the second x-pipe is and never had all that crazy rasp sound and still sound like a big boy truck, no x-pipe needed.

lol gullible, dual x pipes don’t do anything more than single, a true exhaust fanatic knows the equation to determine how far from the collectors to place a j tube, for softening the scavenging pop. There’s no such thing as a double helix sound, double helix is a visual like a dna pattern.

[@utahcountypicazospage5412]

@@feellnfroggyj pipe doesn’t add power x does so if some power can be added along with sound reduction why not. Also j pipe is more for drone not rasp. X equalizes everything

[@feellnfroggy]

@@utahcountypicazospage5412 not true at all. I've had both x and offroad h pipes and neither helps rasp in v6 or V8 . And I'm currently running a pro chamber on a 4 valve with resonators. That don't help either. The j pipe at the right distance is what helps arrest the pops associated with the"buzz". Due to the type of cranks we run. Either j pipe or equal lengths 8 into one headers built right.

SO much better with the double xover, but it just sounds incredibly choked. Did you suggest replacing the cats? I'd think that would be a super easy upsell for folks bringing in older vehicles.

[@NXT_LVL]

Based on that year 4.7 if youre stock power levels then trying to get it to have higher RPM flow isnt worth it, they dont spin higher than 5800rpm even at that after about 5500 you can feel it running out of steam. The stock exhaust valves are 1.46" Manifold primaries are only 1-1/2" so basically the same size as the exhaust valve, so dual 2.25 or single 2.5 is the best and the OEM Y collector outlet is 2.5" Unless youre pushing 300+ horses then dual 2.5" OEM Dodge cats of that era were already "high flow" so as long as you got the identical ones or a less dense honey combed core like they are from factory. It just doesnt sound as good under load without a muffler leeast when they straight pipe dual them. Idle is fully chonky and deep, but under load is like a wet fart/clap noise

[@goon_time]

I love yallz channel man, you are the best exhaust salesmen out there!

[@exhaustaddicts]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@pgtmr2713]

My buddy had the crew cab version, we did a single pipe, with 1 Magnaflow performance with an exit in front of the RR wheel. It sounded great, the cop even complimented it the next day, (Buddy was speeding, cop heard him coming, lol.) Now it sounded really nice without costing a lot. The other mod was pulling the wire from the TCM. That wire changes timing before a shift. Without that wire hooked up the truck became fun. Have a transmission on standby. Since then I've been looking for a cheap Dakota with a 4.7.

[@josephhernandez5986]

I had a bmw m6 v10 and the exhaust i put on were true duals. It sounded okay but way too raspy. Installed an x pipe and she sounded amazing!! It did quiet down significantly with the x pipe.

[@lonelymtbrider3369]

Reminds me of them german v8's, C63 AMG and the likes. Sounds absolutely lovely.

I wonder how it would change if you out an x towards the front and one closer to the rear. Maybe even 3 of them

[@zachheindl8619]

Got a new subscriber....this taught me that a dual crossover will sound great on my Bronco. Gonna do an H pipe cause its easier with the setup i gotta do, and then a Dynomax UltraFlo X muffler.....so true duals with 2 crossovers.... I may finish it off at the end with two Black Widow "Neighbor Haters" before the tips.

[@therory6888]

Nice job. But way too loud for a daily driver. I think the H pipes sound better than the X pipes. But they both sound and perform better than just true duals. Thanks for the videos.

[@exhaustaddicts]

Fair enough!

[@BIGGELATO]

its less raspy with double X pipes, but if he really wanted to go further, adding resonators would do the trick. it'll still be loud but refined.

This has me thinking. I have a 1990 Corvette that i am doing a complete semi custom resto to. I am at the point of saving for a massive motor machining and rebuild, nasty cam, heads, et'cetera. Currently, i have cat delete, x-pipe and 2 high end mufflers out back. I am thinking of doing shorties, h-pipe, x-pipe and no mufflers out back. Should sound nasty! :) if it is to loud, i will be calling Karnage Performance. :)

[@JG-kv4oi]

90 Corvette- Do your manifold/headers as you wish into 2 pipes 2 1/4 or 2 1/2 dia depending on hp (2 1/2" supports up to 500ish hp) bring them back behind trans nice and even and side by side. Now bring these into a 4" dia pipe that you have flattened to 2 1/2" tall by about 5" wide and run this flattened tube down your driveline tunnel back to the rear transverse leaf spring splitting it again into two pipes to finish out your exit on either side at the rear as you wish, muffler or no muffler. I'd at least do a small resonator on either side if your Vette is cat-less. On that car forget the true duals unless you really want that raspy crap. The flattened 4" tube down the tunnel should come close in volume to 8 x one cylinders displacement which acts as a termination box and effectively shortens the length of the exhaust system that the engine exhaust flow "sees". This is going to increase your hp over a twin pipe system with a balance or X pipe and build a lot of torque and will sound rich and big block-ish. I don't suggest Flowmasters on this system. Something with a nice even non turbulent flow through. Mufflerman 38 years, personally 60,000 muffler jobs and still counting.
