X-Pipe ?

well i also have a muscle car which is a chevelle and i know that the X-Pipe gives you power on V-8's but it should give you more power on a rotary, right?

hrm~~~~ I wouldn't think so. seems to me like it would cause turbulence. I would just have them run off seperately, or else have them join late.

EDIT: but then again, I'm turbo'd so what would I know?

how could you have an X-pipe if both exhaust outlets are on one side?

when they Y-Out, it would be like adding a restricter silencer, I had an H pipe on my N/A with True Duals and when I put the crossover pipe on I noticed little less noise and more low end torque.....no really applicable on a Rotary, but if you to cheap to be a preslincer it works okay.....

I think true duals are the best way to go. I am ordering my setup within amonth or two(just waiting to get my finacial aid check) IMO.

Have you ever seen an RB Road Race header? All a normal header is, is half of an X-pipe. If you were to go to duals immediatly after the collector, it's the same thing.

RB uses a long-primary (for the most part X-pipe) exhaust for their 1st Gen Streetport Exhaust... think about that...
