H or X
I did a g-tech run and my cobra is only making 239 at the wheels and I think that it is the P.O.S. exhaust that I have robbing me of my horse power. My cousin has a 89 notch and he ran a 11.7 with an H-pipe then he switch to an X and he shaved off 2 tenths with the switch and his car sounds so much better not quite as loud as it was with the H but close

RE: H or X
There isn't that much of a difference between the 2 power wise.
Offroad X or H pipes do tend to be louder than a catted one.
Also, whether you have long tubes or not can change the tone of each specific mid pipe versus the stock manifold.
Another great X I don't think was mentioned is the SLP. IMO, it is the best sounding X (depending on your catback).
If you haven't already done so listen to the different combos to see what you like best.

RE: H or X
Of course the catback choice would sway me a bit more towards one or the other. At this point I prefer the H. Looks like I'm sprining for the cobra brake upgrade (brakes and rotors are about shot, so I gotta do something anyway), so the mid pipe will have to wait for a while.

hell, am I the only one that would go for the H pipe? I prefer H, the sound is more american muscle to me compared to X pipes which have an exotic/import sound. i'm not sure the horsepower gain with an X compared to an H, i know X flows better but the difference i'm sure is not huge and therefore not enough for me to warrant the sound quality of the H.

H - muscle car sound (deep rumble) X - Nascar race car sound
