i meant why its a direct cross that is square 90* separation between each pipe. how big (or long) is the equalizing hole in the middle? just looks like the pulses will run head on into each other rather than flow past each other teasing the other side along the way...

Its more a fit issue than anything. I matched the angle of the X in the frame, you will see why this was necessary when I post pics of the chassis. I'm not a fan of any style of X pipe. But this guy gets what he wants because he pays the bills.

I figured it would be something like chassis constraints and what not, gotta poke fun at perfection ya know

Haha, pretty much, I think it was like 103 or so, but when you are welding it feels even hotter.

Walking around that shop is kind of like a fantasy land. M6's, S600's, Bentley's, Ferrari's, hot rods of all shapes and styles... Always makes me kinda sad, so many cool things I will probably never own.

They are expensive, it takes a lot of time to draw up a custom flange, make a one off fixture for machining and than do all the 3d surfacing for the ports in SS like we did. Add in TRUE equal length primaries, limited space, and you have $$$

I wish I could own just about any of the cars I work on, right now I can't even afford to have a beater project car of any sort.

Thanks for the compliments guys!

Magnaflows are pretty much the best muffler we have came across so why do you have an issue with them? Straight through design, proven power over a chambered piece and its stainless. Whats not to love?

I love manaflow, I want them to make some 8 inch round 3.5 in out double offset 14 inch long :yes:

Plus they are welded construction and made in USA. I wish they had tig welded versions but oh well, I might get to that someday. They do sound good and lifetime warranty is nice to boot. I use magnaflows on pretty much everything, even on this bmw M6:

pretty much since the first day I met him

3am mc donalds

I remember when this guy hadnt eaten in 3 days because he couldnt afford to eat. I must have looked like a Saviour pulling up in my purple car with Mc Donalds in hand. Even after shop kitty had eaten some of the hashbrown in the bag.

97Econobox · « **Reply #57 on:** August 10, 2009, 11:05:12 AM »

just never paid attention to them i suppose. figured since Summit sold Mangaflow kits for civics for like 300-400 bucks they couldn't be that great. I stand corrected.
