    The advantage to using a properly tuned "H" or "X" pipe is that it broadens the torque and Hp curves. It adds a pulse to the harmonics that can scavange the exhaust from the cylinder (adds a low pressure (vacuum) signal as the exhaust valve closes which makes the intake charge enter faster which fills it more completely. more charge = more power!

    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    A cool trick to find out were to put the H-pipe is to draw a line with a crayon...were it stops melting is were it goes.

    I'm also going to route the exhaust like derrick except mine will go all the way back..like old camaros.

    Most small blocks do fine on 2 1/2" tubes. If you try to put 3" tubes on the Maverick you may have some difficulty getting by the fuel tank on the left (driver's) side.
