Hey Guys,
A thread in another section got me thinking. I currently run BBK cat deletes and X pipe with Pypes Pype bomb A/B's. My question is, will you lose/gain/or neither as far as horsepower/sound go if I switch back to the stock H-pipe.

What are the benefits of it vs the X pipe?

Thanks, matt

H-pipe has a little deeper tone, that is the consensus at least. X-pipes supposedly make a little bit more power, but I don't think you would notice.

Hey,

Great question, and you are probably going to get quite a variety of answers.

As mentioned the biggest difference is in the sound. The H pipe generally delivers a deeper tone, while the X has a raspier race sound. Technically the X pipe will get you more power, however the difference is a couple horses at best.

The biggest advantage power wise in the mid-pipe is removing the restrictive factory cats. As long as these are removed or replaced with high flow cats, most mid-pipes will deliver power gains within a few horses of each other. I would make your decision based off sound, as that will be the most noticeable difference between any mid-pipe.

I hope this helps, and if you have any questions, feel free to get back in touch. Best of luck!

Yeah this is pretty much it, you wont notice any power difference between the two. The only thing that I've noticed is that H-pipes tend to have a bit more burble to it, x-pipes tend to be a little bit more raspy at the top end, but that's all I have to add to it
