Check out Dr gasthey have some cool $hit. I am about to get the x-pipe. I'll let you know how it is when I get it. Look at the pic's to the spin tech muffler looks kinda tripy. [ February 18, 2002: Message edited by: ihatethesesns ]

Well If you are close to the Tri-Valley, there is a shop out here that can make you an X-pipe. Cost is like $100. He made me one, and I like it. If interested hit me up.

I just talked to the one of the guys at spin tech and he said that he was just talking to a guy that was running a 12.1 and after he put the street performance mufflers on he ran a 11.9 He also said that I should see a better gain with them then the straight through style mufflers. Dont know how true it is but thats what the guy at spintech told me. I am about to buy those muffler so I guess I find out here in the next week or two. I think they were like $89.

go to the site and some other ones I have been reading a lot about these. I think that they have more then enough dealing with racing, that they have developed a good product. Yes I know that a sale man will tell you what you want to hear so I take it for what it is just hear say. I want to try something different I am sick of the flowmaster sound that just about everyone has. well I guess we'll have to wait and see how good it is. You'll be the first to hear it nate, when I get it done!
Hey man, did you speak to Ron ? He isn't a guy of many words but he is a pretty honest guy from what I know of him. Did you mention you spoke to me ? And your car will have a slightly different tone to it than those with Flows. That was part of the reason I went with them too. I had Dynomax's and Flows on my last two cars and decided it was time for something new. That's the philosophy I'm following on this whole little project of mine. I went w/ H&R's instead of what everyone else has (C springs, Eibach, Steeda), Edelbrock instead of Bilsteins, Spin Tech/Dr. Gas for exhaust, and when the time comes I plan to go turbo instead of S/C.

If you need any more incentive to get the Long Tubes. I just got back from a dyno session at APEX and the results are as follows: Mod s: Bassani X W/cats: 234 rwhp 268 rwtq Mods: BBK LT's Shorty H W/cats, Underdrive pulleys: 255 rwhp 284 rwtq The gains are across the entire rpm range. I gained 5HP and 10 ft/lb TQ all the way from 2500 rpm until there was a peak gain of 20 HP and 15 ft/lb TQ at 5000+ rpm. My only mods are in my sig. Imagine the gains on a supercharged car!
