Most people will tell you an x-pipe. If emissions aren't an option go for an off road one.

Personally I think h-pipes sound better, but there's a reason there are twice as many x-pipe set - ups out there.

I personally like the grumble of the H pipe. The X is a little louder and an anoying sound.

I love mis-information posts. That's nothing more then a personal opinion of yours. You are mixing facts along with opinions and that's not going to help the OP decide what to get. X-pipes are a bit louder in the higher RPM, and I personally think they sound great...with the right setup.

It all really depends on the sound / performance that you want.

personally...the way i feel is with mufflers that are straight through style...go with an H pipe...if you have chambered mufflers than either one will sound great.

both pipes will give you about the same increase in power. the X might give you 1 more hp....but i think the H might give you 1 more ft-lb of torque. nothing you will notice either way.

i think youll prolly be happy with whatever you choose.

Exactly.. I've had people giving me compliments all the time about my flows, and they always are surprised when I tell them that I've got a x-pipe to go with them.

I think you have it backwards. flowmasters are chambered and they are generally accepted as sounding like garbage with an Xpipe. gen. rule of thumb is straight muffs can go either way, but with chambered, you need an h pipe.

every flowmaster/xpipe combo I've heard sounds like a rattlecan.
