Tom,

The existing H crossover on my 1982 500SL Euro is placed way up front just as the pipes each side of the engine leave the exhaust manifold , and it crosses about where the engine meets the gearbox, and the crossover pipe is a good 2 to three feet long. This H crossover is well and truly high and ground clearance is fine .

In regard to the planned X crossover pipe , this will replace the center resonator/muffler . As on my 500SL the two pipes come together at this point , so its just a matter of removing the resonator and putting in the X crossover right at that site , and again the X crossover will have the same good ground clearance as the resonator .
