Cutting 928sRUS X-Pipe for Cats
I'm in the middle of installing one of Roger Tyson's X-Pipes with his high flow cats. I know he was very busy last week, and didn't have time to cut the pipes for the converters. I have no problem doing it myself, but does anyone know how much has to come off the ends to allow the cats to fit?

it would be best for you ro mock up the pipes IE install the X to the manifold then take some careful measurements ,
are you going to have the cats welded to the X?
Are you going to be using the band clamps on both ends?
once the X is in place then figure how much each end of the cat must fit on then make your cuts just getting a number might not be the best idea.
i would figure you would want the cats to have atleast a 2 1/2 in overlap possibly 3 1/2 maybe 3 being the golden number
