ok this all depends on preference. the x pipe will work great with straight through mufflers and will give you maybe 1 or 2 extra hp over the h pipe. it will also give you more of a raspy sound. the h pipe will be best with a chambered muffler and will be deaper and have more of that classic muscle car sound

The hp difference is going to be so minor it shouldn't be the basis of the decision. Base it on sound Click on my sig to hear my X pipe

or you could go with a mac prochamber which, I think, is a nice mix...I have an O/R one for sale and im looking to get a catted one (AZ emmissions ) but they sounded bada$$ with stock manafolds and flowmasters. PM me if your interested. ~Garrett

I love the sound of my car... seriously no one around here w/ a mustang has the same sound and I have a longtubes w/ an X pipe and my car sounds like a race car. High pitched but you know its got some work.

Hm... then why would the x and h pipes be different in price then? It's like a $30 difference between those two

Unless your dumping out over 300 plus HP I would run teh H-pipe...
You guys with almost stock motors running X's dont ya feel like with all that noise the X's drop but not all that power kinda make you feel like your driving a hoopdie ?
