If you're running any kind of chambered muffler ( Flows) go with the H-pipe. It sounds soooooooo much better.

If you have any doubt go and talk to a local exhuast shop. Two types of sound. Muscular and Raspy. Decide what you want. X-pipes do not sound good with chambered mufflers (Flowmasters) just my opinion. My car, with the flows and o/r h-pipe, has the old school 5.0 sound, to me the best sound. Just my opinion!

Then reason why I bought the o/r h-pipe because 98% of aftermarket exhuast users said that chambered mufflers do not sound good with the x-pipe. So, I bought the o/r h-pipe. So glad I did. That rumble is something to behold. Are the Mac c/b chambered exhuast? I am so glad you like your sound just as much as I do!

x= Better performance, High pitch sound
h= Not as good as performance as the x, Deep sound

x is not a high pitched sound on chambered mufflers, dont speak if you dont know, h is deeper, and honestly cruising around and idling an x is deeper then an h, its only raspy at WOT. and yes mac is chambered.
