yummy, i think the only differance might be that mine pops more when i let off the gas...the only reason id go to an X pipe would be if it gave me gains in Hp or performance. how about headers? can I leave stock cats on and have headrs? short or long, I heard short headers are better...who knows...I sure dont?

I dont think you can use the cats in the stock location with long tubes. You will have to move them. And long tubes are definately better. I have heard shorties give very marginal power gains. Shorties are much lighter than the stock exhaust manifolds though.

so if i go with an X-pipe will i loose even more of a loss of power because now its gunna be eliminating more pressure i had. like gettin rid of the resonator will eliminate that pressure. is that good or bad i dunno...

chambered exhaust
how 'bout this system on Corvette Central Exhaust?
http://www.corvettecentralexhaust.com/c4perfcham.htm#
they use an H pipe instead of an X pipe...any difference? I'm trying to figure out what cat-back system to replace my stock exhaust on my '94 vette. not sure if the system in my link is too loud to be legal in New Jersey, but i have to believe it would improve performance and sound great. Any thoughts?

Alright I can't stand it anymore. I will order mine tommarow. You guys talked me into it. I wonder how loud mine will be with the long tubes and a gutted converter? If it's too loud your to old ! I might edit that last statement after install.

im not sure but when i looked at a new set of chambered elims. it looked like there were a bunch of chambers along the middle of the exhaust like infront of where the resonator is supposed ot be. too bad this doesnt help you probebly. i dont know the differance either, thats just what i noticed fromt the look. good thing i started this forum because its helpfull as He!!

PB Blaster usually works well on rust, but if pipes were overtightened and kinked around where the clamps are/were, you'll be in for a fight.
Do you have an air compressor, or are you using hand tools only?
