X gives a little more power has a raspy sound, H has a deeper sound

I would prefer the H over the X for performance. Just my opinion...

I chose a BBK catted X pipe. Raspy sounds more like a race car but at first I though it was to quiet but I got used to it's distinct sound. Also more HP with X. X is style H is loud!

Jesus. If you havn't figured it out by now it's 99.9% preference of sound. The HP difference is stupid small so do not make a choice based on that, pick what you like the sound of best. They sound different also depending on the style muffler you're running. Just for the record X pipes do not always make more HP, it just depends on the setup.
