well you already bought it, so of course you're gonna install it. everyone says H for sound. H gives a deeper grumble sound. X gives you a couple more ponies but H gives you more low-end. performance is so small it's all about the sound! what catback do you have or are you going with?

loud. o/r = the loudness. at least you didn't get packs or loudmouths. then you'd be riding around town screaming PULL ME OVER! look around for some soundclips. i'm sure plenty of people have flows with o/r H you can listen to. even though recordings of this stuff hardly does a car justice.

Dude I had the BBK off-road X-pipe on my car with Delta Flows and it wails at WOT. Sounds great but pretty raspy and just obnoxious. BTW you probably shouldn't have bought the BBK X-pipe because if you're like me and most other poeple who have/had one you'll get a really annoying tinny "burble" type sound between shifts and whenever the RPMs drop. That is the main reason I switched to my MAC off-road H-pipe, well that and I like the sound of the H better. Don't worry though it will definitely be loud.
