Thinking of getting Pypes Off-Road X-pipe..few questions?
 
http://www.americanmuscle.com/pypes-9698-x-pipe.html

im thinking of purchasing this for my 1996 gt

i currently have the stock H pip system with flowmaster 40's...i this x pipe a good idea?

Im intrigued by it..but i want to know more.. thank you for your help

it sounds really good up top but down low it sounds like crap (IMO). i swapped between X and H on mine over half a dozen times before i finally settled on the H just because it keeps overall sound clean.

its my opinion, when it comes to exhaust everyone has their own. your not going to get any definitive answer by asking this. go on youtube and type in something like "mustang X pipe flowmasters" and see what YOU think.

^yup look on youtube and listen to some clips. I don't like flowmasters with ANY midpipe setup as I am a magnaflow guy...

I have pypes x pipe with LM II's and I like it, always get complements on it out at auto x.

yeah the o/r x and slps sound great but hes talkin about the combo with flows... lol. Ive seen a couple people on here that have your setup op. As stated already check on youtube and see what you think

why not an off road H?

Oh and don't buy on what you hear about HP differences between the two (not worth factoring on a stock car)...buy strictly on YOUR sound preferance.

i have a pypes o/r x and flows. i love it. i get compliments regularly .just wait till you get it on, once i did and took it down the road i believe i said "holly sh!t" it deff, awakens the exhaust note.

HA, I had O/R X and Magnapacks...talk about loud. But after a while I got tired of how loud it was and the fact it promoted something the car can't back up (being stock). So I just recently had some high flow cats welded in so now it's a catted X with magnapacks...still hear it but cleaned up a lot of the pop/rasp and is easier on the ears on longer rides lol.

I too HAVE O/R X but w/cats (A gay Cali thing) and mag packs and i get complemented all the time i once got pulled over by PD and asked what i had done? I told cop straight up and he made me rev a few times then smiled and drove off. The only thing that i can add to this thread is if you ever have anyone in the back, kids or no it's VERY loud almost too loud. Expect to see people turn there heads arround to see whats about to passes em up lol.
