Just kidding, it's hot as ***** there, like 111*. But still, you cannot honestly believe that article has any merit or relevance to this thread whatsoever...

I fully 100% agree with the fact the the X-pipe can and will outperform a same sized H-pipe on the same exact car. BUT, not even by a noticeable amount. It would, at most, be 2 rwhp or so. Maaaaaaybe 3 rwhp. As far as the address post, really that wasn't necessary or a good idea for that matter, things like that are not tolerated and all purp has to do is say the word and a Mod will address it with you. It may just wash over if purp doesn't say anything, but regardless, don't ever post that kind of crap on here again.

You need to realize that most of the members on here that have been here a while have done their homework as well...reading actual books and articles backed up by results. We are not inclined to just let it slide when a newb goes polluting a perfectly good thread with garbage.

Lastly, please, for all of us...use the SHIFT key and punctuation marks!!!!!
Understood and the only reason i responded with the address post like that was bc i was asked for and address then something about shoving my x-pipe up my a#$ i mean come'on I had to respond to that in some kind of way not just bend over and take it you know. Things did get way out of hand and I should have just stuck with the whole "sound" thing and not mentioned "performance" but for the vote I DO like the sound of the h-pipe over the x-pipe even though i run an x-pipe. Much respect for that post and my bad for going off the deep end!

^^Now see, that's already an improvement! Thank you for being mature about this. We can all be friends here, no need for it to get out of hand, we all lose our tempers-we just need to stop typing for little bit while we calm down lol.


Now about that sound comparison....lol

In this comparison I picked h...but that is not my overall opinion. It really depends on the setup. I'm willing to try an o/r h with my setup now just for grins and giggles. I don't think I'll like it but I'd be willing to try it. But right now i kinda want the packs with an o/r h...

Hoss wrote this article, clearly.




I voted H, the small(but factual) power gains are nowhere near worth giving up the H rumble. So much drama LOL I have no clue how I've never gotten an infraction.
