Re: X pipe kit is here!

The X pipe kit is 2.5". Costs $100 at Parts America made by Flowtech.

I'm going to a shop outside of Austin, in Buda. The installation will be without cats too!! I'll post videos of the installation. I'm going to burn the tires off once the exhaust is on. I'm itching for a full throttle run.

A little run down the neighborhood. Go out to 3 minutes for a little throttle run.

I'm using late 60' early 70's Chevelle headers. They ceramic coated too.
Pictures available here

The heades are not shorties or full length. They work great for lowered trucks.
