The bigger pipes will be fine. you want a little backpressure unless you are insane for RPM (not with the 3.3L) 2.5" exhaust is too big for the X unless you are running single exit pipe on the SC or with a turbo. 2.25" is perfect for the NA engine for maintaining torque. I run a 40 series because i like the noise, and the fact that "loud pipes save lives" no jackass in their right mind would pull into your lane if they could hear you coming! if they did i'd just ram them!

Also, I'm really curious about the sound...any way you could put up a sound clip (or anyone else with an 05 for that matter)? I had a Flowmaster 40 on my 04 but I'm really wondering what it would sound like on my 05. The same...different?[/b] http://www.xterraownersclub.com/forums.html

Anonymous Unregistered	I have heard a few people say that U cant run dual exhaust on a Xterra. IS that true? I assume there would we too much back pressure or something. I just wanted to here if it can be done safley, cause i wanna run dual flowmaster 40's with 2.5 in. pipes.

I just wanted to here if it can be done safley, cause i wanna run dual flowmaster 40's with 2.5 in. pipes. duals are possible with a good exhaust shop to do it. 2" is all that is needed to run duals, and if you want the look then run 2.5 for the last 1.5 to 2' of pipe you don't want to run 2.5" because you will lose all performance and a ton on fuel mileage. a crossover pipe will help the balance between the 2 sides of theengine and might actually work for your benefit. I bought pre-bent pipe and took my X to work to do the pipes myself, but your better off finding an exhaust shop to do it for you.

Anonymous Unregistered	sounds like will just stick with my 2.5 in single outlet Maganaflow. I mean it is an Xterra and not like a V8 or a hemi or something like that.

Anonymous Unregistered	RI Xterra: that setup you have looks deadly! what exactly do you have for piping? Is it just a catback setup? or does it go all the way to the header?

Anonymous Unregistered	ITs illegal to remove the Catylitic Converter, at least in VA it is. DUnno about anywhere else. and how the hell could u tell if u was running strait pipes by just looking at the picture, u would have to look under the car, no offense, just wandering how u came up with that observation.

If someone actually made a set of headers for our rigs then I would have gone with true duals.. _________________________ My Xterra - NEXterra Forums

Anonymous Unregistered	SLR has a set of headers. I'm currently putting them on my truck. And I must say, they are DAMN good looking headers, too. Whatever problems they used to have w/ 'em, they definately don't anymore. So now you can go w/ true duals...
