Default Battle of the mid pipes...

I have LM 2's on my 03 GT 5 speed, I am looking to get a new mid pipe. Most likely Catted, but i wasnt sure about either X or H I am leaning towards the X but i was curious to what you guys thought....video clips would be awsome too. Thanks

sorry but what are LM 2's? I've always heard that with a chambered muffler go h-pipe or glass-packed with x-pipe. Got me an off-road BBK x-pipe with a magnaflow cat back and am pretty impressed. X-pipes have a little more hp gains too.

that power is maybe 1 hp nothing that is noticable.

the x pipe will give a more raspy sound and the h pipe will give it more of a muscle car sound. both sound great though
