Where To Buy X Pipe For Lt1 ?
 
I am going to have an X pipe installed to replace my resonator. Where can I buy an X pipe to make the install as easy as possible ? Thanks



I thought about having an exhaust shop fab something up but I don't want to get ripped off. Ideas on this route ??

New one's are about $75 from Magnaflow.

Cool, which one to buy though ? The LT1 has an odd size exhaust

buy the 3" and slip it over your 2 3/4 tubing.

Alot of gap to be welded in?

1/4 inch of gap, yes.... plus you'll need to spread the pipes (a lot)

I just ordered a 3" magnaflow "X" pipe from a local performance shop for $80.00. Can't wait to install it. I hope it makes the exhaust sound more agressive.

You won't really notice any sound difference. Only slightly deeper at WOT. That's where I started and after 2 weeks had the muffs eliminated.

I may have to go with eliminators if this doesn't give me the sound I am looking for. I do want to keep the LT1 tips tho!

I don't want the LT1 tips, but I did it kind of spur of the moment so I just had them weld those back on until I find stainless tips I want. It was done for $50.

I can have the tips cut off and welded on if I remove the mufflers. Much cheaper than ordering everything.

If you are looking for an X-Pipe that is really made correctly for your car, you need to get one from Dr. Gas. They are not cheap but they are right.

To late, I bought a 3 inch "X" pipe yesterday.

Cant you get muffler elims. with the stock tips for a decent price? Thats what Im looking at doing on my stock exhaust set up...

Joe,
I'm just cheap and like doing it myself. Also I have heard the LT1 tips other manufacturers use don't have the same quality as the stock tip.
Bernie

drmrman 04-19-2007 02:50 PM
AHHH! I see! Well if I had a welder and a pipe bender I would love to do it myself as well! But it looks like Im going to be taking your root and how a muffler shop weld me up some deletes and utilize the stock tips!
