Default exuast question

hey so i bought my car like 4 months ago and it doesnt have an mid-pipe so ive been looking into gettting one, but the thing is i dont really have much extra cash to be buying top brand pipes,and i found some cheap BBK pipes for cheap, i was just wondering if u think a BBk midpipe would make my car sound even close to some of the other cars with some other mid-pipes.?Also would might sound better and H-pipe or X?...ohh and i have flowmaster mufflers
-sorry for the long explanation
thanks ahead

Yeah, the BBK xpipe will sound better than stock. You can get an offroad hpipe from summitracing.com for pretty cheap too.

since youre running flows, id go with an o/r h pipe.

check classified sections at a couple forums and be wary of who you buy from and youll find great deals.

most will agree that a h will sound better with your flows than a x.

+1 on the summit, mac or jegs for cheap midpipes. you could always have straight pipes welded into the stock h.

You could still pull off the o/r midpipe, as long as you don't mind swapping it out for your stocker when inspection time comes around.

an H would be good for sound, as to an x would be for horsepower, but there's not much of a difference, in my opinion
