X3xMONGOOSEx3X

Okay I have a dual exhaust that I'm going to put on in the spring. I got an X pipe for free. However I've heard from a friend who had an 05' v6 with an X that it may not compliment the sound of my boom tubes. So basically should I stick with the X or go with an H for a better rumble.

Here's a video of my mostly stock '06 v6 Stang's exhaust. Keep in mind it was 45 degrees and I'm a film student so I always add a little production value.

Well if rumble is the priority than yeah, you will have a deeper and rumblier sound with the H pipe than with the X. If better sound is my priority(which it is, coincidentally) then I'd install the H and sell the X to make some money back. The X probably won't sound bad, but I'm partial to the H

i would love to hear someone upload a vid of the new xcharger?

There's a new X-Charger? Explorer Express still has the same/only X I've ever known on their website, and there's several videos of it on YouTube

I LUV my H!

After further research I think it's only a rumor at this point. So yeah at some point I'm going to get an X Charger.

Well that would be interesting, and frankly probably a little stupid since the 4.0 is being phased out next year...

They are working on a new version of x-charger which is in talks, not production, which won't be for the 4.0, if I remember reading it correctly.

The current "New" x-charger is the same x/c but they are developing the intercooler for it.

As far as the exhaust, there isn't much sound difference between the x and h pipe, but for some reason Ford designed all their exhaust setups for the V6 with an x-pipe, so I would have to think there was a reason for it.

i think better flow was the reason, not better sound.

I have an X and love it. Here is a vid of me at the track after the I installed the exhaust:
