I think anything after a merge collector (if using on a header) or X pipe should be as short in lenght and big around as practical. If you have an X pipe I believe dumps after the X could only help you. How much? Who knows. Depends on HP levels, what you have for exhaust before the X, and RPM you operate in. Saves weight too.

Al, I have BBk longtubes with a o/r hpipe. My operating rpm range would be between 5k-7100rpms. The headers are 1 5/8" I believe and the H is 2.5" diameter.

Jomar- Bottle? Me no need no stinkin bottle! Power adders are for sissies!

those 1 5/8 headers are choking you if you're spinning that thing to 7100....
if you get dumps, angle them outwards.. less fume issues..not AS noisy...
or you could just get some dynomax bullet's and be done with it...
