Exhaust Crossover Pipe

[csingletary01]

I have removed my header system, typical 4 into 1 outside side pipes system from my car. I built a system using late model 5.0L shorty headers into 2 1/2" pipe that ran from engine bay out through opening that original headers exited. I was now able to run a crossover tube between the sides across the lower engine bay. I am using hushpower mufflers and will install cover over them for looks. Wow what a difference in proformance. The first thing I noticed was the idle picked up from 1000rpm to nearly 1200rpm. The throttle response is so much quicker. The car has a 400hp 306 cid SBF, big roller cam, big heads, 12lb flywheel, etc. Most modern performance applications, including NASCAR use an X-pipe, H-pipe, etc. The sound of the car is so much better like a V8 instead of two 4 cyl motors. I will post some pics soon. This is still keeping the looks of the Cobra with sidepipes but adding a hidden modern performance touch. I am using V-band clamps in front ant rear of muffler so that you can change mufflers to straight pipes for track days.

Performance and sound wise, always thought that would be better setup.
Did you use x or h style crossover.
If you could post some pictures of what you did.
