Default X-Pipe/H-pipe

Quick question....looking to get either a new x-pipe or h-pipe (catted) that will pass emissions yet still give me some sound. What are the suggestions? I'm running a Borla Stinger catback on the car right now.

I think H is supposed to be more low end torque, X more higher end HP. H pipe is supposed to be more rumbly and X is more exotic sounding.
I dont have emission tests so I cannot help too much with selecting one that will pass. It probably matters what state you are in too? I think some states have different emissions requirements. It would probably be best to stay with a reputable brand that claims it will pass emissions, or someone in your state who has passed with something to avoid issues with failing your test.

If you're catted, you shouldn't have a problem with emissions.

X's sound good on the 4.6's. Look into Magnaflow or Bassanni.

04Stang22, I just ordered an MRT catted H and I heard great things about it.

Check out this thread, something I started last week cause I had the same question as you lol-click on the link in that thread-mustangman5089 posted a vid of his mrt h pipe. Hope this helps
