Xpipe cost more, but you gain deep sound, and more hp out of it, like 10 more i think

nope.......

ok,

x-pipe- yes cost more, has more of a raspy sound
h-pipe- cost less and is more of a deep sound

hp difference im not sure, but im sure its not much in either one.....just matters on what sound u like best

I think the H gives more torque

And the X gives more H/P

all depends what the driver wants.

h pipe is kinda like an old school muscle car sound.

I went with a bassani x pipe. I'm very satisfied with it.

I like the deeper sound of the H pipe myself over the raspy sound of an X.... Both will give u a slight increase in hp & tq, but u wont really notice the difference between the 2 other than sound IMO!!!

Diffrence between X and H is so small that I never felt a change, I think the power claim is exaggerated (Like with Honda parts! [Big Grin] )

But I do like H alot more on 5.0's and GT's and X on Terminators

idk about an x pipe, but the H on my 5.0 sounds deep, and reminds me of a 67ish cougar. really punchy, not raspy at all.

like when im getting on it, its like thumpa thumpa thumpa!! [Razz]
