x-pipes
Hey guys i had the vette on the lift today chasing a suspension problem. I noticed my car has an H-pipe and and x-pipe. I have lg long tube headers and would like to have an x-pipe only so i can install a wideband 02 and have room for cutouts. So what x-pipes will fit my lg headers?

My car is already tuned I just don't like te fact that is has an hpipe and xpipe. Looks like crap to me. Im using the wide band for monitoring purposes only not for tuning but I still want an accurate reading. And with the current setup I have no room for cutouts.

How does your existing header collector merge onto your present H/X pipe?
I know for a fact that the LG 3" X Pipe will bolt up to the GM Ti cat backs
(they reduce at that bolt up junction) & on the front, slip fit into an LG long tube header collector.

My headers are lg 13/4" but not sure if they are street series or pro series. They have a 2 bolt flange that connects to the hpipe and the xpipe is farther back. Its a hack job that's why I want to fix it

My car was just tuned Friday before last. And I bought it that Saturday which was the 19th. It's Procharged so I don't think its gonna change very much just removing a small restriction but I could be wrong.

Trying to learn here,,,Why would an H AND a X pipe be a good idea?????
Seems like a ton of turbulence causing back pressure big time!
Just haven't seen this combo before!

i have been searching for an xpipe for my car but all the ones i am finding have a slip fit style connection an my headers have a 2 bolt flange. I was told by the previos owner that they are LG headers but from what i see lg headers have a slip fit connection unless they are an earlier version.

Yep im gonna switch to a fast 102 combo, go to a flip drive pulley system and put a smaller pulley On the blower. Currently at 13psi looking for 18-22. Shooting for 850rwhp so Im gonna buy everything and do it all at once
