Regardless of the way it looks, your transitions are over a foot apart. There is no x-pipe in this design at all. An x-pipe is used to help scavenging from one bank to another. Your bringing both banks together in a y-pipe. Then later in the exhaust system splitting all the gases between two pipes.

Maybe so.


I drove it a few miles last night and it sounds a lot different. Light throttle, say 1/4 throttle and below its really pretty melow, nice aggressive tone, just quieter. When I hammered it then it started to talk but there was no pop or cackle like it would start to do with duals. The only problem I have with it is it starts to develope a little bit of a drone around 1600 rpms but as soon as it gets started it starts going away and I can probably live with that. FWIW when I had the X pipe in it originally it droned like crazy. Why this is making it drone I don't know.

I run a catted dual 3" into a single 4" dynomax race muffler (not bullet) and I love it.
Nice and smooth.
Really nice and fairly quiet at idle, but once you hit the gas it gets loud, but with a sports car sound.
Its the best sounding exhaust I've heard for our trucks...and I made it at home...lol.
