X-Pipe give you more high end hp while h-pipes will give you more low end torque, it all depends on what u are looking for.

From all the tests I've seen, the only true and constant difference between the X pipe and the H pipe is the price [Smile]

If you go to mustangexhaust.com, they have an article that puts an x-pipe vs an h-pipe, and there really were no significant differences between the two.

I read the artical and see, I told everyone after installing my offroad Bassani X that I had lost a good amount of Torque. Thats why I put high flow cats to try and get a little more back pressure. I was dissapointed when I first installed my X.

Now that the test on the dyno, all they did was change the exhaust for more free flowing air. But since there is more air going out shouldn't there have been an intake change also. Need more air going in???
