they both will be loud, so what kind of loud are you looking for?

Both are going to be equally loud overall, but in a different way. My preference is the o/r h with flows.

Best description I ever saw...
H-pipe = Muscle Car
X-pipe = NASCAR

Pypes are garbage. Just spent my entire weekend installing a pypes x pipe and still had to take it to a muffler shop to get fixed

You want raunchy, get an X-pipe. And get it from UPR Products, then you can have a shop put it in with your flows.

Op, know one can tell you what you like (or would like) better than yourself. I would go on youtube and type in flowmaster exhuast sound clips. You'll get a better idea of what you would want to go with. That's what I did 3 years ago and could not get over the way the flows sounded with the H-pipe. Reminded me of the ol school 5.0!!.

i would go with the h.
flows + o/r x rank up there on my list of horrible combos. but again thats just my personal preference. everyone is different...
