X OR H tell me what you think
I have an 03 GT with 40 series flows. I AM ORDERING MY MIDPIPE TOMARROW MORNING!! So i wanted to gather some opinions cuz im still not 100% sure. First of all..MAC or BBK? does brand matter on midpipes i mean its just a pipe? And im going OFFROAD pipe. What is your guys opinions on the sound Between H and X.. and what is the actual difference in them ( besides the design cuz i obviously know that one). Thanks alot guys, just give me ur .02.

RE: X OR H tell me what you think
Ok heres the scoop. H is usless at high rpms. X will give you more power but H sounds deeper. Sound= H. Performance= X. You need to get MIL eliminators or any good tuner will have an option to turn them off.

How much of a performance difference is there between the X and H? I always hear x pips ( all my freinds have em) n the sound awesome but i have never heard an H in person..From your experiences does H sound alot better?

The difference in horsepower between a H and X pipe is not even noticable (power wise) on a boltons/lightly modded GT. Your talking about trading maybe 2-3 WHP up top for 2-3 Ft/Lbs down low.
At MOST a midpipe is only going to increase your whp by 10-12. You should buy your midpipe by deciding which one sounds the best to you and your personal taste.
BTW, I have heard time and time again that X pipes, espcially o/r ones, sound like complete *** on a flowmaster muffler/catback. You should defiantly go with a H pipe of some sort.
I have been pretty happy with my BBK X, it doesn't seem to have the "rattle" that everyone complains about, but I think that is mostly from bbk midpipes with cats on them, not the o/r type.
Mac is the cheapest for a reason. If you can afford a few more bucks for the BBK pipe it is worth it.
