Dinan X pipe Vs Gintani

acarr6 · 08-24-2020, 10:48 PM

Searched around and couldn't find a comparison between the 2. So, my car currently has a Gintani quad resonated X pipe, paired with dinan rear section. It's a 4.4L Stroker W/ Gintani SC kit. I have a dinan xpipe laying around which is also quad resonated. The design of these xpipes differs drasticcally. So what I'm wondering is, how will the sound differ if i switch to the dinan (Raspier, deeper, etc). Also - will it affect engine output? I assume no, as they're both quad resonated and catless, so the difference would be negligible. For reference, I'll attach a picture of each.

x placement on the gintani piece creates more power.

Check the pipe size, Dinan has larger pipe diameter through out the Xpipe. At least larger than most, not sure on Gintani haven't seen one in years.

It does but it's a weak point of the xpipe as the merge is very small, if it was larger like a Magnaflow merge it will make even more power.
