I would choose the off-road X pipe just b/c i think they sound louder. You wont see more than 1-2 hp diff with the o/r X over the cated X.

I disagree... I personally think that the H pipe sounds deeper.. my friends got one on and im returning my offroad x pipe for an h-pipe.. this one sounds like ****. It ****ing sounds like it rattles when i switch gears.

Its all true. I have an H pipe and my best friend with the same car and exhaust as me has an X and everyone says mine sounds better.

Yours does sound better, plain and simple. The x pipe sounds like a ****ing rattling old car. I hate it. Going to summit tomorrow to buy an SLP h-pipe.

However -- is it SUPPOSED to rattle (seriously, it RATTLES) when you switch gears with an offroad x pipe. Cause it sounds like crap... I was told not to go with the BBK but instead with the SLP but damn this thing sounds horrible.

I heard it was pretty easy, according to my friend. I believe it took him about a half hour. I'd get an H-pipe, my X pipe sucks ***. www.summitracing.com has SLP H-pipes if you're interested.
