Has anyone had any experience with X or H pipes (crossover or balance pipes) on trucks similar to the Titan. Read my earlier post here: Flowmaster Install I'm thinking a balance pipe (probably an X-pipe) will smooth out the exaust note and possibly give some more HP and torque gains. The factory used various pipe sizes to help maintain constant exhaust velocity through the system till the left and right meet at the Y-pipe. My custom install only uses 2.25 straight back from the cats into the dual inlet muffler. Obviously the left bank's exhaust gases must travel a further distance to the muffler than the right sides. An X or H pipe could help balance this difference out before they reach the muffler. I've seen this set-up on other trucks on the internet, but was wondering if anyone had any advice here.

Thanks in advance.
