Can you indentify this pipe?

I beleive you have that backwards Olds... longer is usually low end and shorter pipes are high end.

I was basing my statement above off the fact that it tapers down in front like a 9853, which is a low-mid pipe

Now that you mention it, I think I was just wrong.

I think this is how pipe dynamics work:
Long - low end
fat - low end
short - high end
skinny - high end

Long/gradual convergence - high end
Short/abrubt convergence - low end

I could be calling it the wrong name, but I believe the convergence cone is where the pipe is shaped like a cone where it connects to the header.

THis would be a relatively long convergence cone pipe:


This would be a short:


The first is tuned for higher RPM power, the second is tuned for low-mid-range RPM power.

The pipe in question appears to be a fairly fat pipe, medium length, medium convergence cone. Should make for low-mid range RPM power.
