I'm going catted H to complement my Packs. From what I've read/heard X pipe = more HP, but louder, and more rasp/raw sound., whereas H pipe = quieter, deeper, throatier and less raspy. I'll be going MRT btw.

Here is a o/r H with borla stinger. Notice the poppy

That's ****ing bull****. My X is far from raspy...it's all about what catback you combine your midpipe with.


BBK X-pipe is known for sounding like ****, my Magnaflow one sounds simply amazing though.

so where is this source where it says how the H pipe is the raspy mid pipe

GIVEN THE SAME HEADERS AND CATBACK, THE X WILL BE RASPIER THAN THE H.

It does depend a lot on the catback, but the h's are deeper and rumblier. Sure, a x with flows will sound less raspy than a h with stingers or loudmouths, but let compare apples to apples. If you have the same headers and catback, the x will be raspier and more raw, whereas the h will be lower, more muscley (now i'm just making up words). So please dont tell me i'm an idiot unless you have some serious proof to back it up.

And your car with an o/r x and stingers doesnt sound raspier than that. OK.

And for the record, I think that cobra sounds amazing.

I have a bbk catted X, it doesn't sound bad, but it was a bitch cause the fitment wasn't spectacular and it scraped on everything until I got a muffler shop to heat up the front and bend it upwards a few inches. I'd go with another brand if I did it again. I think I only paid $200 for the catted X, but it was a used show piece from the bbk factory. for some reason I had to change the stud on the exhaust manifold to get the midpipe to snug up to the manifold flange. never heard of anyone else needing to do that.

so with a SLP LM1 catback, which is already raspy/poppy to begin with, what would you recommend?
X-pipe, H-pipe, or Prochamber!

Actually no, my exhaust is not that raspy. But thanks for trying........ no really


I guess we will never see eye to eye on this, so to each his own.

I don't think you can go wrong with any. there's not really a good or bad, it's all preference. you need to hear the car in person to really get a feel, recordings on the internet don't do anything justice, as they are all from different locations, at different distance, etc, so you can't compare.

I'd say you should get an H, but I dunno if it's gonna give a drone with that catback or not. interior drone SUCKS.
