I still do not see a problem with removing the crossover pipe as long as you go to a more open muffler. Two 90 deg. bends is not ideal for anything to flow smoothly. You do the math and that is a 180 deg. bend? How will that flow the “pressure wave” better? Anything moving will take the path of least resistance. Any other path option will cause turbulence. You want more air in you create a straight free flowing intake. You want more exhaust out you create a straight free flowing exhaust.

Someone finally did a before and after dyno and proved little or no change. That was not good enough for some members.

For those of you against the mod what power loss are you thinking you will lose without the crossover? I can see how with stock mufflers you may loose some (very little if any) power. You open the muffler at the same time you stay the same or get (a little) more power. Why not do more than through out technical theories on how exhaust works, and prove or disprove your theories.

TheDog33 has proven when the crossover is removed no power has been lost (in fact gained some with free flowing mufflers).

It is up to the members against the mod to do dyno test and prove removing the crossover will cause one to loose power.

If they do loose power I am sure it will be minute at the most. You gain a lot of sound and loose no power (proven) at all from removing the crossover pipe. Open the exhaust and intake up if you want to gain power.
