Am I crazy?.....exhaust Q.

[Cobra700]

Thinking about saying screw it and running long tube headers with off road X pipe and straight pipes coming out the sides in our stock location. After the X pipe I guess I'll need to run oval pipe to the sides for ground clearance? Will oval 3 inch be ok?
She's gonna be loud.....too loud?

I don't know for sure but I usually sell solid exhaust discs to owners that install LT headers and the car is so loud that they want to block off the side pipes.

Yes, you are crazy

Seriously, though, it all depends what you're after

IMHO, a setup like you're proposing would be too loud, but it really depends on what you like, I guess

With no mufflers or cats and long tube headers with the short exit on side of the car it will sound exactly like a Nascar. Great thunder but not even close to streetable and too loud for most race tracks too. Put a burns stainless on there at least - 3" x 24" sounds about perfect to make it manageable.

One safety thing I will say about those open full size side pipes on track is wear ear protection. I don't have side pipes and I still find my ear ring and I get headaches after a long day. Gonna wear foam plugs this season.

May want to run an H rather than X pipe as it will just have tons of rasp.

Really loud.

Thanks for all the replays. I might try it when I get LT headers and see but will also be prepared to add a cat back lol

It's going to be too loud.

I have the Jegs no side plates and Borla Ataks, like Steve my ears ring at the end of the day
