ok, so itook off my mufflers on my 1994 mustang gt, so all i have is from the H-pipe forward. now i found out that i have a hole in my H-pipe in the left side right in front of the cat. i wanted to replace them but not this soon. so im asking for suggestions on the best header and either H or X pipe combo. And for some more knowledge is there any big defference in the H or X pipe?

the xpipe is supposed to make more power i believe(not enough, make youchoice based on sound)to do with pulsing of the exhaust and is more raspier and the h has more of a classic muscle rumble. i personally like the x.
headers id highly recommend ceramic coating cause the chrome will go blue.normal shorties are the easiest to install, the equal

length shorties are supposed to give you aLITTLE more power gain due to a more balanced flow because all the primaries are the same legnth going to the collector but are a more challenging to install and some people have had problems burning wires(ihave never had this problem with mine yet). Longtubes give the most horse power/hardest to install. ive heard that they rob torque on cars under 300horse but i dont know. they also will not pass etests in all places.

i have equall length shorties and a cated x both bbk going to flowmasters butexhaust sound is all preference theres a sticky to hear setups for yourself or try youtube

I like the sound of a x-pipe = high pitch rev sound and as for exhaust.. just pick a good set of shorties and match the h or x pipe to what you pick out
