X or H pipe
If you had a choice to go with the BBK H pipe or the BBK xpipe to go with BBK longtube headers which would you go with?
I want the most gain with the best sound. Im not looking for really loud but a nice sound. which you go with?

RE: X or H pipe
The X-pipe will be much louder than the H-pipe.
Xpipe = LOUD and deep
Hpipe = loud and DEEP
X will give you more horsepower, but as far as sound, its really a preference, listen to code3gt's sound clips he posted, that will help you decide. Im personally going with an o/r Xpipe for the loudest (and I think nicest sounding) sound.

RE: X or H pipe
I have BBK LT's with a BBK O/R H and love the sound coupled with my Magnaflow Catback. I prefer the sound of an H, I like my exhaust note to be nice and deep. It wont be "uber" loud as long as you chose the right catback. I had Magnapacks with this setup before and it was really loud, but not the kind of loud I was looking for. Above 3grand it gave off this machine gun tin metal fart can noise, did not enjoy that. So I switched to the Magnaflow catback and it sounds muuuuch better. I was driving the other day and some rice was behind me. So I got on it and pulled away from him. At the light the guy pulls up next to me and asks what exhaust I was running. He said my car sounded stock when I was just cruising, but as soon as I got on it he said it sounded mean as hell. So you can still have a loud setup that is tame at lower RPM's.

RE: X or H pipe
I'm tired of hearing about how X-pipes give more power than H-pipes this isn't true!
I've seen articles in magazines doing direct comparisons, X and H in all cases were within 1-2 peak HP... and in most cases H delivered slightly better power over the band.
