Straight pipes fitted to 4.4 V8
Hi All,
I have read a few threads on x-pipes and straight pipes on this forum. I thought I would share my scenario with you.
Today I went to 3 different exhaust fitters today asking for an x-pipe to be fitted, all said yep we can do this no problem, however all 3 fitters advised me against fitting an x-pipe, they all suggested straight through pipes instead.
2 out of the 3 fitters said I should consider fitting a balance pipe between the two straight pipes to eliminate popping at higher RPM's.
The verdict... I went for straight pipes...but after a couple of hours driving, I have decided I will return tomorrow to have the balance pipe fitted. (Balance pipe is a small piece of pipe fitted between the two straight pipes to form "H" in the pipes).
