Default Custom Piping...what are the differences?

Hey guys,

Just got my 14829 magnaflow's. Now trying to decide what to do with the custom piping. I definatly want to do the full cat-back exhaust with most likly 2.25 in. piping. What I'm not sure about is if I should go with the Y-pipe, H-pipe, X-pipe, etc......what are the differences between those? I'm trying to go for a deep sound, but dont want it too loud, but definatly louder then what my stock exhaust is like. Thanks!

Oh yea, I have a 95 SC300

we SC300 guys have only two options - Y pipe or single line
they generally do not recommend doing true dual on an inline 6

correct me if i'm wrong thou

thanks guys!

So, is a Y-pipe with no resonators and 2.25 in. piping the most popular setup for 300's? For those who have it, is it too loud?

The main diffrence between custom piping and a manufactured catback like greddy or jic is that greddy and jic will be manderal bent piping while custom will 99% of the time be crush bent piping. Very few exhaust shops have a manderal bender.

it looks like it's all smooth tho, no wrinkles on it
No it doesn't look mandrel bent, you can see that the pipe is smaller where the bends are.
