Default h pipe or x pipe?

hey i need some advice i got some flows in my 2002 gt but i want to make it even louder i was thinking and i figured an x or h would do the trick but is it worth it to buy one without cats, it wont pass smog but its a lot cheaper, or should i just save up some more and buy one with cats?

If you don't want the hassle of changing the midpipe every time there is an inspection, get catted.. It won't be as loud though.

I have heard both an Xpipe and an Hpipe with Flowmasters. The X is more raspy, and my H is a little deeper. Both sound totally badass tho. Check out my videos for some soundclips of my o/r H and flows. Of course...your car will sound a little different being it a PI, but it will sound similar.

I love my o/r H. So freakin loud and ballzy. But If you can't decide, what about a Prochamber? I've always heard that they're the "best of both worlds". Something to consider

In my opinion if you're going O/R get an H. If you're getting catted get an X. That's just my personal opinion.
