1. This five piece kit is a universal kit produced to fit many applications.
Measuring and cutting will be required. The x-pipe is designed to connect to
you collector reducers or down-pipes under the transmission cross-member.
2. Next, install the x-pipe. This is where trimming of the tubing may be
required for the optimum fit. Install the rear legs into the mufflers first. You are
aiming to have the center “X” land approx 8-12 inches behind the tail shaft of
your transmission and centered under the driveshaft. Also, the center plate on the
“X” has an arrow stamp which must point forward. Trim the rear legs as needed
to put your “X” and mufflers in the proper location. Quick tip: If the rear suspen-
sion is unloaded, you can push the center “X” up until it just about touches the
drive shaft as it will not hit once the suspension is loaded. Slide the front legs into
the x-pipe. They should end somewhere close to the humps in your transmission
cross-member. On some applications, the front “X” legs may not be centered in
the humps but line up to your headers or down-pipes. This is fine as the system
will not hang too low. Be extra careful when measuring and cutting. A helpful tip:
Line up the front legs under the center “X” to mark your cut lines making sure to
line them up with you headers or down pipes. Some header applications require
custom collectors due to the header not ending square and parallel to the car.
For proper x-pipe fit, your collectors must run parallel with your rocker panels.
3. Finish the system by making all your final adjustments to position the
x-pipe. Now tighten all the clamps (Warning: tightened clamps will leave marks
in the tubing, making removal or adjustments extremely difficult) or for the best fit
weld all the slip joints. The 409 stainless can be welded with your standard mig
welder, and is highly recommended when possible.

1. This three piece kit is a universal kit produced to fit close to the drive
shaft tunnel. Measuring and cutting will be required. The x-pipe is designed to
connect to you collector reducers or down-pipes under the transmission cross-
member.

aiming to have the center “X” land approx 8-12 inches behind the tail shaft of
your transmission and centered under the driveshaft. Also, the center plate on
the “X” has an arrow stamp which must point forward. Trim the length rear legs
as needed to put your “X” and mufflers in the proper location. Quick tip: If the
rear suspension is unloaded, you can push the center “X” up until it just about
touches the drive shaft as it will not hit once the suspension is loaded. Slide the
