Need some opinions; Custom X pipe Mac Headers

mustangman02232 has hi-flows and his sounds great.
This is nearly exactly what mine sounds like, except it's a tad bit deeper because I have super 40s instead of regular 40s.....

An x ususaly works better with the V8 because of the firing order if I'm not mistaken. Our cars have an even firing order which means that one cylinder fires from each side at the same time so the exhaust pulses for lack of a better word come at the same time, so there is no need for an X where in a V8 the firing order is different and one cylinder will go before the other so the pulses come at a different time and the x helps scavanging. Not sure so some one correct me if I'm wrong please
Thanks for all the info / advice you guys (not just the ones i quoted) are great !

Well I'm not positive about that but I think its right. And IMO the H pipe does sound better and see, $200 for the lt's and a custom H for 50 bucks, can't really beat that, but just make sure the h pipe fits well or else I would go with the MAC one. If you install it yourself some of the guys said their h pipes sagged a little so use a jack stand or something to lift it before bolting it up so it does sag. And stick around man you'll learn a ton, I have learned so much here, love it. and some stuff is just funny to rear lol

The longtube headers im getting from the guy are MAC, think its a good idea for me to mix and match brands?

Well your looking at MAC longtubes with a MAC h pipe so thats fine and I don't know how the mac gt catback sounds so I would go with a flowmaster catback designed for the gt. The hpipe sets your exhaust up so after the hpipe you can use almost any gt catback. You need to get the full catback the h pipe just basically connects the longtubes to the catback. So you need about 160 for the h pipe and the catback will probably be around 500 or so.
