I'm planing on getting one of these types of pipes and was wondering which one would be better. Just some opinions thanks

X's make better top end, and just make more sense to me. I will be equipping an X.

The X pipe flows a lot better which means more HP go with the X!!

Exhaust systems that make the best power do so because they scavenge exhaust gases most efficiently. The science used to determine a really good exhaust system is actually pretty complicated. Each cylinder releases exhaust individually, creating exhaust pulses. If the system of pipes is designed optimally, each pulse kind of fits in its place in the exhaust pipes.



The X pipe and H pipe both allow for better scavenging, as they permit the crossover of uneven gas flow... The X pipe, however, directs flow of each primary pipe to a central junction, while the H pipe merely has a perpendicular pipe welded in; The H design creates a little more turbulence and doesn't "direct" the exhaust gases together. Just looking at the two, the X makes more sense to me.



Sorry for the rant. <img border="0" src= smileys/smiley1.gif>
