So, do all the X1 tubers have a 2.5" pipe? or did they go to a 2" pipe somewhere along the line?

All X1's are 2.5. The switch started with the S1's and S1W's in 1998.

Earlier tubers were two inch.....my 97 was a two inch, then they went to the larger pipe. I hear that the 2 inch helped more with torque? larger tube probably helped more with top end? REX

Rex is right. Midrange torque or Top end punch.
