I see the X-pipe is pretty popular, what's the difference between your typical x and h's?? Does it matter what kind of mufflers you're running? Also, do you need to change your headers depending on?

"They say" X pipes don't like chambered mufflers like Flowmasters...but I haven't seen any dyno tests showing this.

they sound different.........thats about it..........some people will say different hp/torque gains, but thats [BS flag] Any changes will be do mostly to what brand, but x vs h will not change a thing other than sound

well if you get one without cats, there's no way it'll pass smog. One with cats should pass smog, but there's a slight chance you'dfail the visual. but this guy would have to know his stuff pretty well and be a dick. My buddies 98 passed no problem with a bassini x with 2 high flow cats. so not only is the pipes different, but hes only got 2 cats instead of 4. But like i said, only a small chance that you'll fail visual
