h pipe is deeper sounding and better IMO. x pipe is loud and raspy

yes, the X could be considered higher pitched over aftermarket H, but when compared to a stock H, it's a lot louder and deeper.

What is the best free flowing exhaust set up?? I'm getting long BBK long tubes soon an I am wondering what would give me the most power out of my midpipe/cat-back combo?

jence the reason why i said to get an H for a 5.0.
i'll always comment when people say X;s are "high pitched" and "raspy". i'd say 95% of people that say that have never actually heard one nad just go by what;s been posted on the internet by someone else (who probably hasn't heard it either).

i was waiting for you to comment on this nanaki, hahah..if you get an X pipe on a 5.0 you should be shot numerous times in the face.

blah blah. x isn't loud and raspy. sti;; the same old song and dance here. people posting information about things they've never actually had/heard and just go by hear say. ask anyone that actually has an X.
i'd get an H for a 5.0 though.

THANK YOU! if only people would realize that and stop spreading a rumor of it being high pitched and raspy, i wouldn't always get my panties in a bunch.

RE: X pipe VS. H pipe VS. Straight
I had an x pipe on my 95 thunderbird that had an 01 GT 4.6 Liter supercharged.
it had stock mustang headers no cats an x pipe and dual borla straight mufflers. i wasnt loud at all it was very smooth though but not loud and mean enough...
from all the replies i think im going to buy a new H pipe soon... thanks for the help on deciding
