I hear someone makes an x-pipe to replace cats like test pipes. Anyone know who?

I know a company who will make one,,, incredible quality though I don't think it has been proven
they actually provide a return on our cars... I believe Simmply toyed with thid idea or something... anyway, if you were intersted in looking into it,, try Burnstainless. (<a href="http://www.burnsstainless.com">http://www.burnsstainless.com</a>). or directly to their X pipe area -- <a href="http://www.burnsstainless.com/Crossovers/crossovers.html">X pipes and Y pipes</a> You just need to specify the diameter at the junction, as well as the configuration and spacing of the inlets and outlets. Downside is that in 2 1/4" your looking about &#36;340 to have it made.

From what I've read, X-pipe benefits by exhaust gas scavenging...
The principle being that a the tailing side of a pulse (dropping pressure) from one cylinder bank pulls the leading side of a pulse (higher pressure) from the other bank.
The question for our application is whether our turbos break up the pulses into more of a continuous flow. My .02 is that pulses are greatly diminished and therefore an X pipe of little value. If anything it may create turbulence in the smooth flow from each bank.
Just a keyboard tuner speaking though.
