whats the difference in buying a new exhaust system with an h pipe as opposed to just buying an H pipe

could someone help me with sound difference please

dont really know what ur asking. a full echaust system would consist of headers,mid pipe(which would b the x or h pipe) and a catback. you can pretty much mix and match different brands so i guess the differance would b u could buy say a slp x or h pipe but put a bassanie catback on it....did that help at all?

if i'm not mistaken, the stock catback pipes are not 2.5" where an aftermarket catback is. which will open the flow up more. The H pipe if it's an O/R H will get rid of the silly cats and give your car that musclecar rumble. an X pipe will give you a little more power, but sound a bit raspier. A catted H will still give you a rumble, but not as loud as without the cats. hope this helps

what im asking is, ive seen sick exhaust systems for like 500 dollars which i wanna do, but i dont have enough money so im trying to find the cheapest route to a deeper louder rumble until i can buy more stuff

ok, here's what ya do, go buy yourself an SLP loud mouth 1 catback.

ps. there are no SICK exhaust systems for $500. a full system you're talkin 1000 & up

^ or loudmouth 2's. listen to them on youtube.com and decide which catback you like best.

man it sounds like you're on a limited budget right now and just want the car to sound better. if you want your car to sound better on a limited budget, you need to call a muffler/exhaust shop and ask them how much to weld in some flowmasters on your car.they'll know whatyou're talking about, they do it all the time. just tell them you have a 4.6 mustang and want it to sound louder/better/meaner whatever. they'll recommend a muffler for you, and weld them in in place of the stock ones.probably get it done for $250 total (including the mufflers) I would guess. a lot of people here have flowmasters and they sound way better than the stock system.

the sick exhaust system ur talking about it probly just a cat back and has nothing to do with a h pipe. there are 3 parts to the exhaust. headers, mid pipe and catback. the catback is going to make a big differance in the sound of ur car so if all ur looking for is a good sound then just buy a catback.
