Twice Pipes

Aux and I have kicked around fabbing out the crossover and putting in two straight pipes. Not sure what this will do to the sound(more like an exotic V-12? Less?), but as Tony said, I'll probably not even notice the difference in power, assuming there is one. I'm actually looking for mileage at this point, considering my Z is daily driven.

I think we may want to leave it in the original configuration, with the X pipe collector in the middle. Yours is more of a true X pipe rather than the 2-1-2 conversion pictured in MSA's catalog (that's the stock header config). The exhaust pulse compensation would be better than individual 3 cyl banks shooting out of each pipe. Also, we can make something interchangeable, so that you can climb under and swap out the pieces as needed. The X pipe isn't welded in, so that gives us a lot of leeway

 

 

Looks as if there might be a clearance issue underneath...they really hang down low, don't they?

nope, that's your excuse to get new shocks, bigger rims and tires. you're already running undersized tires for your car, 195/65/14? 205/60/15 would be more appropriate :)
