H pipe will give you a deeper tone, however for max power X pipe is the way to go due to the fact an H has to be custom made for the set up you're running and if you change it then the H becomes useless.

I just switched to an off-road X and love it. I have no idea about power gains, but it sounds bitchin'.

Prior to me having cats spliced in, coupled with my Pypes LT's, it was ridiculously loud....lol.

One of my neighbors 2 buildings down heard me fire it up one morning. lol.

I like the Pypes x-pipe, the piece is solid and the welds are top notch.

Hey, I have the LT's with their x-pipe and had zero issues with fitment. I have zero complaints about them so far and I have 3 of their products on my ride.

I have the Pypebombs as well, and the stock mid pipe wasnt loud enough. I just installed a summit racing o/r x pipe, fitment was great but be prepared... its loud but sounds good. Heads turn everytime you even touch the pedal. Im very happy with the switch.
