I see in your mod list you have a o/r h. Do you think the o/r h sounds better than the x?

ok..

1) If you think you can tell the difference in power between any 2 midpipes.. your full of ****. lol The gains are so minimal it becomes a moot point.

2) just get whatever midpipe you want, because I promise you will never feel a difference either way.

the power difference doesnt really concern me. It is the sound that I am questioning.

I'm not sure if it's an option or even apply to your application, but a set of race mufflers with a catted h would sound wicked.

I went from a 4.5 in. (diameter) muffler to a 3.5 in. race muffler... SSS has interchangeable mufflers.

So the result i got was very loud, but still deep with minimal rasp.

i have very limited options because of the side exhaust.

i called a custom exhaust place and asked if he could get the original flowmasters in there some kind of way and he said no because there is no way to wrap the pipe back around to the side. He said my only option is the 80 series flows which have the same side inlet/outlet like the magnaflows on there now have.
