Okay i have a 90 LX coupe 5.0 and its A/T I've heard that i can only put on an H-pipe Cause the X-pipe won't fit around my Transmission... Is this true and if so Which X or H should i get? Does it really matter about the Transmissions? If someone knows let me know.. Cause i want to get a pipe for my car fast as possible and i want true fit.. just bolt directly and easily.

You can do either...but to provide somemore get up and go power...you'll love the low end torque an Hpipe will give you. Get an H!

There is no BIG difference in Power between them not enough to be picky about, the thing I have with an X pipe is the difference in the sound of the exhuast, an "H" sounds better! and as for what Brand? if you get an off-road wich I think you are talking about just get like a BBK or something it doesn't matter a whole lot. For the fitment I have no Clue but I bet somebody on this site knows! Good luck!

An H is louder and produces a better low end torque which is good for a auto like mine. X is good cause it makes great high hend hp which is good for a manual. With that A/T i would get and H. My BBK has one hell of a sound. I get looks everywhere I go cause people here me coming. The only mod that I noticed the difference besides the nos. Get the H and cruise your local hang out in first gear at about 2000-2500 RPM's and people won't know if you've got a stocker with exhaust or a cammed out street machine. [worship] [patriot]

MAtters how much you want to spend. If you want the cheap route get a MAC off road H pipe.
If you want quality, get a bassani or Dr.GAs X pipe.
The H pipe is louder.

Go with the off road h pipe, it'll work better with your a/t. Plus the sound kickas AZZ especially on the fox bodys.
