I am running a 3.5 X crossover to 2 3.5 dynomax mufflers. Is there a point when just going staight to mufflers is better? I am trying to get to 10.0's through mufflers. Right now I am stuck at 10.5's. Haven't been to the track yet with my new Victor and 1050.
Thanks Mike S |

From what I understand the X can support at least 800 Hp and mabey more?? They use them in Nextel cup don't they? I would think at some point the packaging might be the limiting factor. JMHO

I think the only limit is the flow rate through the X. Once you reach the point where backpressure is hurting HP, then you've reached the limit.

I just had an "X" type crossover put in my car. While I was having the work done, I had a chance to look at a $5,000 system being put together for a 1,400 HP Chevy II. It had an "X" type crossover too. Mind you, the pipes were *HUGE* (don't know the size). It was pretty cool. Rather than using round pipe, they used oval pipe throughout.

Dr. Gas once told me that 3" X is good up to 600hp. They said beyond that, for Winston Cup cars and such, they recommend 3.5" X. Didn't get to hear their opinion on how high the 3.5" X will support before it's time to go to something else.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
