Yes and will do
X or H pipe

I've mentioned this in the past.... maybe this will help...
B&B did extensive dyno testing with X & H pipe fitments. They could NOT find any gains in power or torque with either. Location and required degree angle (see attached picture for prime example) of an effective X pipe cannot be realistically placed on our trucks. So far, B&B and Magnablow have the most ideal compromise between flow and sound with a crossover built into the muffler. B&B achived great flow and sound is just a bonus:rock:

That looks like V1r's side exit.

Bmxam, what length are his mufflers gonna be? Make sure you add tha with your sound clip!

Thank you sir was a lot of hard work.
Yes they are sir. To be honest not a fan of sound with them. I have a set of VR1, magna flows, and flow masters mufflers sitting in shop waiting for me to install and listen to them all

No its not VR1's it is a custom made system I made my self. His mufflers are at the shop when I get back from lunch I will let you know there length.

Perfect, those are the exact same ones I was looking at!

Multiple locations were tested....They ARE an exhaust manufacturer...lol.
The cross angle of your x-pipe causes more turbulence than scavenging. On your location.... is that dyno tested as optimal?

I used flat black paint sprayed on my exhaust. Took the truck out, drove the crap out of it, and put the crossover there...

Obviously I was being sarcastic about them. I realize they know more about exhaust than I will ever know. I did mine to make something different than everyone else. No I did not Dyno it nor did I claim it was better. I made it so both sides would be just about same length as each before the x- pipe which would be optimum. I would like to know how you know that it has more turbulence than scavenging?

So you placed it where the paint stopped burning off correct?
If so, that has been a common and effective practice.

Yeah.... so was I
I do like your craftsmanship. Of course if you like the sound and result... thats cool.
My trip to B&B was very informative. I was impressed as to how much time and effort they put into the exhaust for our trucks. Maybe because the owners son has one?!? :dontknow: But! That's good for us. It helps explain the cost. If you take a close look at the x pipes they make for most applications, they have a very gradual siamesed angle. This allows the pulses to glide past the convergence point with minimal flow restriction. The angle on your x pipe is too sharp. Causing pulses to "crash" into each other instead.
B&B showed me dyno results on their system which each of these X & H pipe tests. The odd firing order of our engines makes them a bit fickle.

Well I guess it is what it is but bassani made my x-pipe at those angles another big and very well known exhaust manufacturer. So I figured if they used it at those angles I could to. At this point I like and that's all that really matters.
Have a good day

That's why I picked my magnaflow tru-x. It's one of the most shallow x pipes you can get. While I'm sure it doesn't make a bit of real difference, it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Dang man I told you that in secret.
Yes to prove a point last night I cut off and welded the badge back on to my eBay special. Thanks SRT2LOW for making me look like a dick hahahaha
