x-pipe design Which?
#3
Thanks. Thats a good vendor too. I guess what I want to know is what is the difference between Soul's cross version and the x-pipe version. I suspect it only to be sound as per their website.

I believe the cross over type gives slightly more torque higher up the rev range with the merge in the X giving slightly more torque in the lower revs.
I might have that the wrong way round but cue the eternal discussion on how big these gains are and if you can really notice them.......
So the differences are to do with sound, not power...

I think to get any noticeable benefits you need to start at the Throttle body and plenum, headers, cat delete or sport cats to free flowing mufflers….then a dyno tune to optimize new components…then maybe it will be a difference you can actually feel. But the better, louder sound definitely makes it feel faster.

There's some pulse sequencing and scavenging benefit from the X-pipe but really only if you have equal length long tube headers also. If not doing those types of headers, then I'd do the OEM style crossover pipes. If doing the headers too, then the X-pipe.
I have the full Fabspeed setup and am very happy with it, including their NLA valved mufflers (like PSE).

Thanks Pete. Your stuff is always so spotless.
I wasn't planning on getting the long headers. $1500-1700 seems a bit much for what you get. I would be looking at 4k+ for headers and xpipe. Thats a lot. . I am thinking the most bang for buck would be the OEM style with high flow cats. ....Im still chewing on which way to go....I might look into used if I can find some.

They look like this now. Too many cars to keep everything spotless and they're driver's not show cars.

I would be more than happy to offer you our RL discount on some upgrades if it helps. Shoot me a PM or email me (John@Fabspeed.com) and I'll do my best to get you set up.

Well guys, I ended up pulling the trigger on Fabspeed xpipe with high flow cats, Fabspeed headers, and Fabspeed competition air intake. Not sure when they will be delivered though! Thanks to John Suttor for helping me out.

John is also great to work with. Just helped me out with some of their awesome gaskets for a 928 exhaust I was working on. I use Fabspeed gaskets exclusively as they're the best I've found. Perfect thickness, metal construction and never had a leak using them.
