Thread: Exhaust System Questions

With all that said---------

The difference between "H" and "X" pipes------

On a H pipe system you are balancing the pressure pulses between sides of the exhaust which will effect sound------On a X system you are building a system where the different momentary volumes/pressure of the exhaust side to side can balance out(sound) and the flow can exit the system from there back via BOTH sides of the system--why is that important???? well its because the firing orders of the v8 engines aren't 180 degrees side to side but have 2 cylinders firing 90degrees apart on the same side while the other side has a rest period------for instance cylinders 5 & 7 on chev-------- create overload on left bank exhaust while right bank has gap--
then the left side can use both sides of system after the X
