Default Dual Exhaust

Saw this dual exhaust this past weekend, and we're thinking about getting the same for one or both of our cars.

What do you guys think?

Looks nice. I think an true X-pipe would be better than the H-pipe. But still, very nice. 2.5"? What mufflers?

Cost?
Looks like a nice improvement over stock.

2.5, yes, and Magnaflow mufflers.

Sounded awesome.

The price is unknown right now, as we believe this was the first.

Nice. You might consider utilizing the same Magnaflow, but with an offset, leaving pipes in same place or thereabouts, but moving body of mufflers away from transmission.

Leslie,

It will sound (and perform) better with an X.

That looks very sharp. I wonder about the H-pipe set up though. Any idea how the car runs? I took an H off of a car a month ago and the X was a huge improvement.

Kevin is now telling me that I missed part of a conversation where an x pipe was being considered instead...so everybody make believe there's an x in that spot.

The car did actually perform very well, much better than stock, with this set up...

But yes, an x will probably be better.

Further from the transmission? Good point. Check!

There are several suppliers, or you can make your own...

You know, if you have a welder and s*#t like that...

And please make a version of X pipe that bolts to the old cast iron manifolds. Lots of OB owners that don't what the $$ of the SS manifolds to make the X pipe work.

I was once was that type of owner. Then got bit by the horsepower bug............

Yours isn't an OB, George...I think they make one that fits it already.

I had (have, but not installed currently) an orignial Ott X-pipe that bolted right up to the old-style iron manifolds I had on my Euro.

I have the 85/86 minfolds now, and got a spacer from Utah so the GT cats bolt up...thinking x-pipe may be next, if I ever get some financial freeboard.

Exhaust looks good, I echo previous comments. Mandrel bends would be nice-- or are they? Mufflex probably isn't too far from you, they've done 928 fabrications before. But hey, if you can get a template squared away and sell something prefabbed for the masses that is less than than the current option..that would be great!
