The Exhaust Hot Spot



Brad

The "hot spot" should be at the target rpm for that engine.  This gives that 
engine setup the peak point.  That is fine for an engine that has no 
interfering space.  With our street Imperials that general use cross-over pipe 
is the 
gap between the engine and the transmission and some times at the rear of the 
transmission pan. 

When I had the "X" installed on my car he build it so that the center came 
together just behind the transmission pan.  The rear of the "X" as it expands 
is 
just ahead of the drive shaft.  As it was the vehicle before mine with also 
an "X" system was a guy with a '72 Fury III 2 dr powered by a 440 and the car 
had the factory's OEM towing package.  Any ole way back to Imperials, I have 
the same inside diameter from the exhaust manifolds thru the mufflers and 
resonators to the rear tip just below the bumper.  The rear tips are hooked 
much 
like a lazy question mark with the stem towards the front and the "C" part cut 
level with the ground.  Chrysler started this hooked tail pipe style with the 
1957 year.
