Blower exhaust setup questions..

[BLACKLIST]

So i am prepping my setup and have some questions regarding an exhaust setup..


I have the vehicle registered as a collectors item, which prevents me from fix it tickets, so its not really too big of a deal if its super loud.. However i dont want to have open long tubes as i drive it on the street still.


My question lies on the header back section..

I know on turbo cars, when running twin turbos, its not really a big deal or important to have an h or x pipe to benefit you like it does on a naturally aspired car. What about a supercharged car?

I had planned on getting 1-7/8 to 2'' stepped longtubes, possibly even 3.25 collectors instead of 3'' and run the same size(full 3.25 inch exhaust possibly) from the collector straight back through a spintech muffler on each side, then out turndowns. Would i be better off running the exhaust through an x pipe and then to the mufflers, or is the whole x pipe deal an elaborate waste of time now that the car is supercharged?


Any help is appreciated!

it helps with scavenging, gives you more low end power essentially... so since the blower boosts low end power so much it might not be needed but it cant hurt if its designed properly...

ground clearance is an issue and i am running a driveshaft about 2x the diameter of the piddley stock one, so the whole x pipe deal may be history at this point..hmmmm

and keep in mind the closer it is to the engine the better.... so if theres not enough room unless you run it way at the back its kinda a moot point...

Thanks for the insight, really helps! I didnt know about the closeness to the engine thats for sure.

ya, its all about the "pulses".... the farther from the engine you get the more they are dampened.
