"I thought I read or heard somewhere that the crossover pipe should be same diameter as exhaust pipe????
Thoughts??????? JOHN "

I wondered about that myself.

"Shape like oval normally does not matter. Many use a smaller dia. for the crossover. GANEY"

That was why I asked about using the oval pipe was to get a larger 'chamber' to help balance the flow. Instead of a 2 1/2" pipe with a 2 1/2" H-Pipe I wondered aboout using an Oval Pipe that would give more volume. JIM

1. Save your money and Enjoy your vette!

2. Buy some beer, dream about what to do with $2000.

3. Port your heads.

If I remember correctly, recommendation is for same volume of pipe for crossover, and smaller or larger not recommended, however some use oval pipe (same volume as rest of exhaust system), since oval shape may present fewer pipe to ground clearance problems.
