the X pipe & mandrel bent system should definitely make more power, engine masters & many other places say X pipes create more power & i would assume that means for torque too... but on a stock engine with manifolds the gains are probably minimal compared to a higher hp engine with headers that would benefit from it more.

What you are saying is certainly possible, plus, it has been so many years since I drove the car with the old exhaust. I will need to drive it some more. Maybe the carb needs rejetting now?
