Performance advantage over the tradition H pipe cross over. As you could imagine why... it does a much better job of equalizing exhaust pulses between the left and right bank maximizing exhaust scavenging.

Yeah it will move when floored, but those tires were a little on the bald side too so.. 3.7s and a limited slip rear can be fun though.
yea mines a limited slip too its so fun in the rain haha and can be quite scary if u hit it at the wrong time lol

X-Pipes help low end power too. Mine feels like a COMPLETELY different truck.

partially true-it's the fact you used 2 .25" tubing- hence keeping your velocity pressure high which increased your bottom end-you NEVER hear guys that went to duals in 2.5" with x brag about their bottom end increase do you?that's the reason-im sure darren ws6 will chime in

What if you ran 2.5 out of the x-pipe into the muffler and 2.25 out of the muffler

Did you have a stock exhaust before you did all of this?

Yes it is true. My truck was actually worse after I left the exhaust shop lot, but since i have a 3.73 LSD once i got it custom tuned it was pretty sweet. It can still make 33" mud terrains spin when slammed.
