Mid-Pipes Explained

Dyno-proven power producers but sometimes forgotten, crossover pipes are superior performers compared to true dual exhaust systems and offer a more refined exhaust note. We offer direct bolt-on kits for many cars as well as universal crossovers that can be integrated into OEM style and custom exhaust systems.

X-Pipe: X-Pipe's with their straight through design are built with the most aggressive high-pitched exhaust note in mind. This is designed to give your car a more exotic and raspy exhaust note. This type of mid-pipe will make the most horsepower over stock in the higher RPM ranges. Flowmaster’s Scavenger X-Pipes use our exclusive D-Port technology that allows the exhaust pulse to create a low-pressure area that helps pull, or scavenge, the next exhaust pulse from the paired set of tubes. These systems work to produce significant torque improvement and are well-suited to modified “muscle car” application yet retain the classic Flowmaster sound.

H-Pipe: H-Pipe's are perfect if you want a cleaner exhaust note that has a deep tone for that more traditional hot rod sound. H-Pipe's tend to make a bigger difference in the low RPM ranges. The crossover tube helps balance out the pressure differences between the two cylinder banks, improving the scavenging effect. This helps maintain exhaust pulse velocity for improved throttle response and power.

Y-Pipe: Flowmaster's Scavenger D-Port technology is used in our Y-pipes to maximize exhaust pulse velocity when merging two exhaust banks into one pipe.
