Default x-pipes'

Do you really get more sound and horsepower with these? if so what one do you recommend? and will I need a re-tune on the computer? Holla bac at me bros'

i've seen my pipes on a rack before and I know we have the straight pipe that joins the two but really the magnaflow x-pipe I've seen really is a small ex why didn't ford just do that to begin with. I'm never happy, holla back please I have some small change that is burning up my pockets.

So what just strait pipes with no crossover?

I think the saying is the crossover is there for a reason

The cross over improves mid range torque and makes it a little queter. That's why Ford put it there in the stock setup. It's a cheap gain. The x-pipe is certainly better. It will provide a little more power than the h-pipe.

The shop that tunes my car did some dyno tests and stated that the x-pipe will only produce a small increase in HP (<5). The cost-to-hp gain is not worth it for me.
