TiAgX5 is on a distinguished road
The vid demonstrates the scavenging operation of the X-pipe when only one side is moving exhaust gasses (out of phase), this will ONLY happen thru the RPM/throttle position/load range with equal length tubing upstream. The X5 has about 2' more exhaust length from the left cyl bank to the X-pipe vs the right cyl bank, this will cause some RPM/throttle position/loads to deliver the pulses in phase.

I'm all for everyone modding to personal taste, I just point out the flaw when it's passed off as a "performance enhancing mod".
