Sidepipes

Got my VIN.
I need some advice please. To those running sidepipes do you have a balance pipe. If so where is it positioned, between branches or between collector ?What size did you use?

Did it help reduce noise? Did it impact on power?

Thanks

Never have seen anyone put a balance pipe on a side pie car. I guess you could and it will mellow the tone sand hould add a bit of bottom to it. Not real sure it would be worth the trouble.

On these cars I really couldn't see how one would it unless the balance pipe hung below the frame

Don't worry about one,
Ian Denner tride to tell me you needed to use a ballance pipe but I blanked the flanges off for it and if anything it makes the car sound a bit more cranky but definatly did not seem to afect performance and in my apinion it sounds better.
