My buddies dad (last gen Viper) has the pipes "cross" under the car. They remain two seperate pipes, but they "go over" each other. So it looks like an X-pipe but it isn't.

I assumed it was stock, but he has done enough to the car so he may have added them. My buddy told me that his dad said they did that to "extend the length" of the pipe for a better note. He works for Chrysler on Engines (just not the Viper Engine) so I assumed he wasn't talking out of his butt.

Not sure, I replaced mine with pipes that just go straight out the sides and don't cross at all. Dropped temp in car like 30 degrees, plus sounded better. Of course the high flow cats also helped with that.

I think a big part of a Vipers sound is the side pipes. You only hear 5 of the cylinders at a time. I know there bad *** cars but I do not like the sound. Reminds me of a blender!!!
