There seem to be a lot more X pipes available out there than H pipes, and I was wondering what the difference between the two was? The H pipes are the more traditional muscle car exhaust, right? Are there significant power differences between the two? Can you describe the sound difference?

Thanks,
Frank

Sorry, don't mean to beat a dead horse. I tried searching but "h" and "x" are too short to be included in searches.

Here's a few decent links to at least get you started.

Basically h pipe is deeper and x pipe is more raspy... as far as hp they pretty much even, but some say X is a litlle bit better (1 hp or so)

If you put quotes around those letters like above the search will work

x pipe will move the HP curve higher in the rpm band and h pipe will give you better torque than an x pipe. the biggest difference is in sound between the two. H=muscle car, X=race car. Either will give you power and the amount of power wont be noticeable but i think that you will feel it pull a little harder on the top end with an x pipe than an h pipe. But thats about all you need to know.

Basically comes down to the sound your looking for, i don't think one should be decided over another because of the gains you'll get because realistically there both identical. If you want a deeper sound go h, if you want a raspier tone go x.
