Default O/R Midpipe

Im going to order an off-road midpipe in the next couple of days. I was going to get an x-pipe, but will an off-road x-pipe pop a lot? I don't want popping everytime I let of the throttle. In that case I would get an off-road h-pipe. Do any off-road x-pipe owners get a lot of popping, or not?

Depends what mufflers or cat-back your runnin with em. An x-pipe will be more raspy than an h-pipe. Its all about preference really but its alot about the mufflers

I have a quiet muffler and still get pops. Sometimes when you let the clutch out fast when down shifting you get a loud as pop like a gun shot lol. I have never had H but have heard that it is deeper. i wish I would of got an H instead of X because it sounds like a boat at low rpm's.

O/r h pipe ftw. I just ordered mine, I finally gave into just buying the mid pipe and saving long tubes for later. Nitrous cost me more than I thought, but im hoping it will be worth it.

A BBK X Pipe will give you a lot of rasp. But my VRS Xpipe sounds really good. I get the high pitched race car sound without all of the snap, crackle, pop when i let of the gas.

Where can I get one for a good price?

I think I might just get an h-pipe. What brand did you get? I was considering a $140 one from Brenspeed. But then again, I heard x-pipes add more power through more rpm's.
