Default Gutting xpipe going with H

We got the mac catted Hpipe on my friends 03 today. That mid pipe with flowmasters sounds awesome. Nice low rumble and no high pitch at high rpm`s like my xpipe. The H sounds 100 times meaner than the xpipe. Much better sound if you ask me. Who agrees? Also throughout my researches, there isnt really much difference in HP between the two throughout the powerband like everyone says. I really think im gonna get rid of my x and go with H. What do you guys think?

It was 3 pieces. Very easy to install. A lift is very helpful vs. garage floor.

I'd go H over X any day. H has a deeper rumble and tone. I think an X maybe adds 5 more hp or so depending on the brand. The rule of thumb for a midpipe is don't worry about hp, go with sound preference.

What about the backpressure on the H? Is it possible to loose HP with the lack of it?
