Hard to believe???

I find it hard to believe that no one offers a bolt on mandrel bent exhaust system for our 73-87 trucks. I am looking for an aluminized bolt on system ,,, does anyone offer this???

What would be the advantage to running an X pipe system over a regular dual exhaust system?

It helps balance the system better and reduce backpressure.

Edelbrock sell's a cat back system that bolts on and no mod's needed to make it work.

And it's aluminized and mandrel bent.

OK, what would the advantage be having a cross-over pipe? Is this the same as the X pipe?

Basically, yes...they are the same. The cross over pipes (or H pipes) caught on before the X pipes came out/caught on. X pipes are more efficient and are the way to go IMO.

Yes, it makes sense that the X pipes would be better than the H pipe. Better flow I would think.
