What is it and do you really need it in a true-dual? E0 SVT, Toreador red Custom true-dual cat-back exhaust SHO-shop off-road Y-pipe SHO-shop cold air induction

I took it out and the car seems more willing to go up top. now it could of been misplaced but i am figuring since the way the engine is mounted(transversly) the tubing length is gonna be longer on one side then the other so you will have different hot spots. Now i am not sure if this is correct or not it just seems logical. Also no one has been able to tell me how to correcly locate the X-Pipe. Should the hot spot be at idle/4000 rpm...when am i supposed to find it. i have asked this question many times and have had no answer. jiako\|98 svt silver\|kkm true rev\|18" Enkie RS5 wrapped w/falken GRB FK451 215/40\|Mesh grill\| Sony headunit\|Boston Acoutics (4)5X7\|Memphis 1100 amp\|(2) JL 12W3\|KVR X drilled rotors\|35% tint\|2.25" True Duals w/ Magnaflows\| kkm pedals\|LSD\|Fidnaza Flywheel\|Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch\|FMS wires\|Konis/Eibach\|ESP bushings and Mounts\|75MM PRO FLOW\|DMD\|Aluminum shifter & E-brake handle\|SAFC\|HID's and a few more cc's 196.1 and 183.4
