Exhaust matters

Hey guys. Does an X pipe make a difference? And if so, where should it be placed?

Is there a rule to know what diameter pipe to use with duals?

Well that's an open ended question... It all depends on what you are doing with your truck, daily driver, drag racing, is your motor a race motor?

But to answer your question I do believe an X-pipe does help the flow of the exhaust instead of an h-pipe. Now size I have friends that run 3 inch pipe but they have big cubic inch with big cams. I personal think 2 1/4 is good for a V8 unless your a big cubic inch guy. My truck came with 3 inch single with a manga flow muffler and I'm not going to change it for my EFI 351w.

Where to put it, between the motor and the mufflers... Just kidding I think any were you can find room before the mufflers is good.

You can also run dual in and dual out muffler then you an x pipe ish system.

This is all my opinion I hope it helps.
