x-pipe and exit in front of rear tires?

Theres ALOT of truth in that. But since we're here and do not have alot of money to be changing out exhausts and runnin the track to see if it works or not, dyno treads to see if it works or not, people will be skeptic.

Most of the time, for me, a set up like you recomend is all I do. My rides are street bound and really do not need every last pony yanked to just simply run around and paste a few others at the local light to light or drag strip run. Rare as it is.
