Default what brand of x pipe?

so i think i've decided to go with an x-pipe for the improved flow and what not. plus, i really don't notice too much of a difference in sound when listening to audio clips of both setups (h and x). anyways, which brand would you guys reccomend and why? i've seen pypes, mac, and bassani mostly. any insight to these brands?

and if anyone wants to make a strong argument about why i should definitely go with an h pipe instead... lol.. gopher it.

Personally, Unless your making alot of power I dont feel that you will see any difference between and X and an H pipe. And as far as Im concerned, I dont see a difference between a jegs brand h or x Pipe and a BBK or something like that. All your paying for is the name in my opinion. If moneys not an option for you, go ahead and drop the loot and pick up an expensive X or H pipe that says BBK or MAC on the side. ****, I'd go with a jegs X pipe, for 160 you cant beat it man, youd pay that for some other companies H pipes..

BBK is a good brand. Bassani is obviously good as well, but you'll pay a lot more for it.

No real power difference between the H and X-pipe as some of these guys have said. I now have an O/R Prochamber midpipe and I love it.

I have the MAC Pro Chamber. It gives the car a different tone and claims more power then either the X or H
