Is the X closed so it move the exhaust from left side to the right side?

Or is the X open, where left and right meet. Then the exhuast can go out either left or the right. With pressure, it should be equal.

The latter, it's open for better flow and pressure equalization. It's much better than the H-pipes you see on the dual exhausts you see for many older cars.

From what I know the X is open in the middle allowing uneven pressures to switch sides to help even things out. I also think it allows for better scavenging of exhaust gasses. Someone with more knowledge will hopefully help you out better than I did.

No need; that's pretty much spot-on right there...

Proof that ANYONE can be taught at least something, lol :lol:

what if there is no x-pipe?

Oh well.........

Then you have to save some moneys for the X-pipe mod.

Thanks for asking this question...and thanks for the answer.

Here was a great article on exhaust technology.
