Universal X-Pipe Exhaust System Mid-Pipe Kit, 304 Stainless Steel

Create a custom stainless steel X-pipe exhaust for your car at home. X-pipe to balance exhaust pulses between banks, adding power and a unique sound to your V8 engine. Polished 304 stainless steel construction for long lasting performance and beauty. 2-1/2-inch or 3-inch kits available. Included polished band clamps make it possible to build a polished stainless exhaust without welding. Stainless exhaust kits include everything you need to get started minus the mufflers and hangers. A Custom X-Pipe Exhaust System for Your Car Building an exhaust is typically one of those things that gets put off until the end of a car build or engine swap project. Then, the thought of delivering your freshly completed hot rod across town to the exhaust shop can seem daunting. But for many, the thought of cutting, welding, and routing a custom exhaust system through the chassis at home seems like an even bigger challenge. Add to that the complexity of building an X-pipe from scratch and the job gets even bigger. This kit was designed to make it possible to build a custom exhaust that perfectly fits your car in your home garage, plus the bonus horsepower from an included X-pipe, all with the long-lasting durability and shine of polished stainless steel. And the availability of both 2-1/2-inch and 3-inch versions allows to you perfectly tailor this exhaust kit to match your engine's power level.  X-Pipes Make More Power Not only does this kit come with the bends and clamps you need to get your exhaust going, it also comes with an X-Pipe. An exhaust crossover is a great way to add power and torque to just about any car. By balancing out the erratic exhaust pulses inside the pipes from bank to bank, crossover pipes can add real power. And when compared to an H-pipe, X-pipes typically offer even more performance potential by creating a linear pathway for the exhaust gases to merge and flow. X-pipes will also change the exhaust tone, generally making your V8 sound sharper and raspier than an H-pipe or no crossover at all.  Durability and the Clean Custom Look of Polished 304 Stainless Steel The exhaust system is not typically the most beautiful part of a car, especially one that gets driven regularly. It’s hard to get a coating to stick to exhaust components, and exposure to the elements combined with all those heat cycles usually means that those pipes end up looking pretty rough. This kit is made of polished 304 stainless steel, which is known for its extreme corrosion resistance and long-lasting beauty. And unlike coated mild steel, it can be polished again and again to maintain its luster.  No Welding Required Welding stainless is tough. Even the most experienced fabricators can find it difficult to weld up stainless steel tubing without creating ugly, brittle, crystalized welds. This kit comes with eight stainless band clamps that provide a reliable way to join sections of exhaust tubing without the need to become a master TIG welder. And they’re polished to look just as good as the rest of the exhaust system. Band clamps make exhaust system fabrication a quick and easy process.  Just Add Mufflers and Hangers for a Complete Custom Exhaust This custom exhaust kit includes one X-pipe, four 45-degree bends, two 180-degree U-bends, and eight band clamps. 2-1/2-inch kits also inlude a pair of 3-inch to 2-1/2-inch adapters and and additional pair of 3-inch band clamps. Adding a pair of mufflers like Speedway Motors Stainless Steel Chamber Mufflers and some Stainless Steel Exhaust Hangers will get you a great start on that custom stainless exhaust system. Since every car is different, Speedway Motors also carries Polished Stainless Exhaust Tubing that can be purchased by the foot to complete your custom exhaust all the way to the tailpipes.
