Default Need X Pipe for TPIS Longtubes
I NEED a off road X pipe for TPIS Longtubes.
Last I heard Dr. Gas made them but not anymore.
Anyone have one? New or used?

Willing to trade catted H pipe for it.

Dr. Gas told you this? That's a real dissapointment if it's true.

I called dr. gas before I left for school (carribean med.) and whoever I spoke to didnt have a idea what I was talking about.
I checked their website last night and couldnt find anything.
I should call again but I am long distance and dont have time. I come back home to NY early December. Wanted the part at home so when Im back I could put it on asap.

Need to do a clutch and cam package and I really dont have the money to switch to american racing longtubes with o/r x. I feel the TPIS and X combo will make good power and it would save me some money. My TPIS Longtubes are in great shape, would be a waste to throw them out.

I would call again, maybe you spoke to a new person.

You could also call MTI, they used to carry it also.

Found out that Random Tech. makes a 2 3/4" off road x for these longtubes. Catch: $430!

Waiting on dr. gas to reply. Hopefully they make a 3" setup into 2 3/4" for a reasonable price.

If not I will have to take the plunge for the random tech setup.

I used to have Bassani & that was a great X pipe, now I have a Kooks 3" X pipe & thats even better. I'm sure they would fit.
