Cross over pipes
I'm changing my exhaust system (from B&B to Corsa) and wondered what you guys think is the best crossover pipe. My car is a 2000. I removed the pup cats and gutted the mains. Also I have TPIS LT headers. Any body know if the cross over will fit this setup. I can't remember moving the main cats any particular distance. Also can't remember if the LT's went back further than the main cats original position.
Thanks,
Gary

Re: Cross over pipes (garry harris)
Gary,
The cross over or X-pipe usually replaces the stock H-pipe just forward of where the catback bolts to the intermiediate pipe.
With the floating fit on the TPIS headers I made an off road pipe for the track and kept my cats for emmisions inspection.
Serveral varities on the X pipe. I have a Magnaflow on the street pipe with the cats and just the weld in X from Extreme on the off road pipe.
the pipe without the cats sets off car alarms in parking lots just idling.

Re: Cross over pipes (garry harris)
The only fitting issue I have, is that I didn't get the pipe welded together entirely flat and one of my exhaust tips is higher than the other. I need to have one side of the intermidiate pipe bent to fix it.
I also didn't mention the when I have the off road pipe on I also have O2 sims plugged in. I guess you might have the same since you have gutted your cats.
