Default X-Pipe or H-Pipe

Hey im looking into getting either an X-Pipe or H-pipe with cats and im just wondering what the difference in performance is and also what the difference in sound is going to be. I already have flows and im just wondering if this is going to be rediculously loud or anything. Thanks for the input!

With flows, I would get an H-pipe, the h-pipe sounds best with flows, it gives your car the muscle car sound. The x-pipe offers 1-2 more hp, but its hardly noticeable. I have flows with an h pipe and love it.

An H will sound great with your flows. Nice deep tone. I had an X and went back to an H and couldnt be happier in the difference in sound. As for the power between the two. They are pretty equal throught the power band. The H gives a much better muscle car sound. The X, its more of a nascar sound. Higher pitch at high rpm`s.

Are they significantly louder than what it is now?

Yes, you will notice a big difference in sound. It wont sound rediculously loud though. Youll like it.

H-pipe with flows... It will kill that aweful drone a little bit and make it real deeepp.

X-pipe would make it sound even worse, but X-pipe gives you better gains as far as HP and whatnot =(

LoL, when I see flows from now on, Im just going to click the "X" at the top of my screen, lol, because I am going to end up saying something really aweful to someone who likes them... and it is a preference. Sorry I just cannot stand flows.

not enough that you will feel a difference or be able to tell it at the track or anything...go with what you want the sound to be..H=deep, classic 60's muscle car sound..X=deeper than stock,with a race carish sound up top...X pipes with flows sound DISGUSTING (bad) to me..ew..then i again i just hate flows, but especially with x pipes
