It should be a little raspy and louder, not as deep!

I was under the impression the "X" pipe would make it more raspy...

IMO there is no point in changing to that. You already have an H-pipe, I wouldn't go through the trouble cutting and welding the pipes. It probably won't even have an effect on the tone. Save your money for some new axle-backs or get some high flow cats if you want to change the tone.

Looks like a Bassani X pipe. http://www.steeda.com/products/_enla...sani_xpipe.php I have the Bassani X pipe with stock cats and it's not raspy at all, it seems to mellow the exhaust note.

+1 - looks similar to Bassani's x-pipe, which itself is unique as far as x-pipe's go. I think the one above isn't the same, just similar.

I like my Bassani x-pipe a lot. It was a big fact in my choosing Bassani LT's, even though I had to buy another Bassani x-pipe to match the Bassani LT's.

Looks like bassani, could even be the magnaflow X/H pipe. My guess its the magnaflow X/H pipe. I know because I have that same unit as my mid pip. If you really want to change your exhaust note then go with the O/R Prochamber or a good set of AB. Just my .02...
