Exhaust question.

Would I benefit from, and is there room to add an H or X pipe
to a Dirty Deeds stainless 10" cat-back system for the RCSB?

 

X-pipe: Mid-pipes built with a crossover, or "X" shaped design, purposely cross exhaust streams to even out flow and streamline exhaust gasses through the rest of the system. ... H-Pipe: An H-pipe is better at balancing sound and produces a more consistent, classic muscle car growl.

How this old school generalization correlates with a computer dependent 5.7 is relative to the user..

Many have said other exhaust systems sound better than stock but torque seemed lost. Others say their Tundra turned into a rocket.

You need an exhaust guy to chime in.. Or maybe a high performance crowd.

Will you dyno it?
Larger intake?
Tune?

What's your primary objective?

 

No dyno.
Stock intake.
DAP tune.

Primary objective: increased low RPM Torque without drone, or being louder than stock.

 

Keith would be the man to ask

 

No it wouldn't if you have a y pipe

 

I believe the X pipe is more beneficial when the engine stays in the higher RPM range, and the H pipe is more for the lower RPM range typically used on the street.

The H pipe sounds perfect for my needs.

 

Where is the Y pipe?

I don't believe I have one.

 

Keith is welcome to comment...

I thought you were getting Keith's system that hooks to your stock tailpipe ? If so it has a y-pipe which in that case there is no benefit to an x pipe. If you are doing a true duel system meaning two tailpipes than yes the x-pipe would keep your low end torque.

 

Okay, that's the information I was looking for - thank you!

 

Keith built my Brother a DUAL System that's as quiet as my 10" single. I'm sure he mentioned an X-Pipe being part of the package.

 

If you’re running a single exhaust on a tundra then you have a Y pipe and don’t need an X pipe.

If you have a dual exhaust, trust me, you want an X pipe. It builds better low end torque. And, on a tundra, better sound.

 

Is there any difference/advantage to X pipe vs. H pipe? Would one be easier on my installer than the other?
