A Lower-Profile X-Pipe for Custom Builds
This is the Borla SwitchFire X-Pipe with 2.5in inlets and 2.5in outlets, un-notched, built for fabricators and installers constructing a custom exhaust system. Its hydroformed center section gives it a lower profile than a conventional X-pipe, helping it clear tight undercarriage spaces while blending the combustion pulses from both banks for Borla's SwitchFire tone.
Key Features
- Hydroformed center section for a lower profile than a conventional X-pipe.
- Reversible design for flexible installation orientation.
- Un-notched inlet and outlet necks designed for weld-in installation.
- 4in centerline spacing on inlets and outlets.
