My old man is running the bassani X pipe on his 92 GT, and my brothers was running the summit offroad H pipe on his 89 GT. But my question is whats better all around, ground clearence, flow, sound, acess to trans what would be best OFFROAD H or X and why?

I just switched from the mac prochamber h pipe to the BBK X pipe and picked up 9 rwhp on the dyno

i also vote for the x pipe, more power

I changed mine, H pipe had a "meaner" idle sound while the x-pipe is a little higher pitch, but the x is the best for power. If you just want the sound go for a H. But not much difference so I would always say use the X because you get more power.

Yeah, If you switched to a regular off road H pipe you wouldve gained HP over the Mac Prochamber..The Prochamber doesnt sound that good either.....

In one of my old 5.0 mags they did a comparo between X and H...The H pipe with Flowmaster dynoed higher peak rwhp that the X pipe with Flowmasters (like 2+rwhp more)....H pipe's are cheaper and are slightly louder than X pipe's..

I vote for an H pipe..Its a great bang for buck...A Bassani off road X is over $100. more dollars...Sorry but 2 rwhp doesnt justify $100 more bucks...Bassani Exhaust is Stainless Steel but having your exhaust rust in California is not really a problem...

I would go with the x-pipe. More horsepower and I think it sounds better.

The H is a bit louder and gives more low end power, I think if you have an automatic you go with an H-pipe. The X will give you more high end power and have slightly less volume on the exhaust note, I would use this on a manual. It's all personal preference, I had the BBK o/r H and couldn't complain it sounded mean as hell and made enough power to satisfy me. Ge the sound you like, just don't get no pro-chamber bullshit, gets striaghts pipes without a box in the middle

likely x pipe is the way to go, i have a 99 cobra with bbk oxf x and amer. thunder folws and sounds mean as well a little raspy sound around 2000 rpm but meaningless to the sound and good hp it gives me overall your preference bro.

Doesn't really matter. Every combo is different and some work better with X's some with H's and some with straight pipes.
