Most people buy an H-pipe instead of an X because it's supposed to have a deeper sound. I can't verify that tho cause I have an X-pipe. So if you want deep buy a H-pipe. Also if you read in bbk's site (that's what brand my X is) they say that the exhaust crackles and pops or something when you combine flowmaster's and an X-pipe. This could be true with all X-pipes, I don't know just putting that info out there for you. I, however, like the sound of my car with my Flows and X-pipe. I also have ceramic shorties on there as well (BBK also)
