FRPP X-pipe welded or clamped? - 3/23/2008 7:44:37 PM    thewarmachine Posts: 2012 Joined: 4/27/2007 From: North Carolina Status: online Hey, when Shelby converts a GT into a Shelby GT, they cut out the H from the H-pipe and replace it with an X-pipe (FRPP I would assume).  My question is do they clamp the new X-pipe on or weld it on?  Does anyone have a pic of the X-pipe on their Shelby GT?  Thanks.   _____________________________ 2007 Black GT | Stick | 3.31 | Borla Stinger Catback | Prochamber w Pypes cats | C&L Racer CAI | Brenspeed 93 | Steeda Tri-Ax | Roush Springs/Shocks/Struts | BMR Adj PHR | Legend Splitter | Seq Tail Lights Post #: 1
