Absolutely, Dave.  You have to consider that if the first bend is even off the slightest bit, imagine how that angle will only increase  in space the longer the pipe gets.  What may be a simple 1/4 or 1/8" up at the front could end up being 1-2" say 2-3 feet down the pipe where it could come into contact with say a trans cross memeber, axle, body floor, frame rail, etc.

Here are the pics of the H pipe and mufflers that we got from ECS.   Fit and finish is perfect!  The sound is absolutely amazing.  Completely different, deeper, more throaty, sound than the "other" system I had on my charger!  I can't wait for Dave to come out with the head pipes and tail pipes for my charger!

Fantastic job again Dave!   :2thumbs:  I gotta say the H pipe and mufflers on our GTX still look and sound fantastic with plenty of miles being put on the car since we got the exhaust installed!  Thanks again for a great product and raising the bar yet again!

Here are some comparisons of the Tail Pipes along with side by side photos or the H Pipe.








Wow!   :wow:    I guess you can't get much closer than that!   :2thumbs:

Yup, thats how our 69 GTX sounds with the 440 and the system that we got from you Dave.  That nice, deep, throaty rumble sound!   :2thumbs:  Amazing how one system can sound so different than another system.

only thing that I can see is that the one on the right has a darker seam?

Dave,

If there is a difference, it is VERY DIFFICULT to see visually.  I see no difference other than the seam color like I had mentioned previously.

I cannot tell really!!!,.... and l I suspect maybe the one on the right is stainless.  My eyes may be deceiving me. Good job of making them look identical.

I don't know why but the after (ECS) exhaust sounds better.  Maybe because the engine was warmed up a little and it was off high idle?  Maybe I am just going deaf!   :smilielol:
