Default Why So cheap?

I was going to get a magnaflow off road x-pipe from completeexhaust.com. They quoted me $299 for it. I just found a MAC off road X from Brenspeed.com for only $177. Why is it so cheap?? is it because it is just aluminized steel and not stainless steel? Would they both perform the same though?? Brenspeed also has an off-road H for only $130. What would you guys suggest-- X or H on a stock 2000GT. I am definantly going with the magnaflow catback but im not sure if i should go with an X or H mid. Is there THAT much difference in the low-end between and X and H? what about sound? Thanks!

hey thats a pretty good price . i have a o-r xpipe and it sounds sweet. i always get compliments. im about to sell mine cuz of lt headers. but a h sounds better with flows but x is better with mags. in my opinion x is beeter its moroe now a days.an h is more older muscle car sounding.x is more raspy.dude go with x

doesn't matter if you get X or H. performance difference is so small, just get it based on sound. H gives a smidgen of lower end, X gives a smidgen more HP. X sounds better at WOT, H sounds better down low.

i assume you don't have emissions testing. if you do, don't bother getting any off/road.
