wich one is better h pipe or x pipe?? and does it relly make a difrance?? and wich one giives me more hp?? or should i run just 2 pipes speratly???

Twister

a H-Pipe and an X-Pipe do the same basic thing, they allow the exhaust preasures to equalize to help with exhaust scavaging, which helps with velocity and better flow.in theory, the X is a better desin since it has less resistance than the H, in real world situations, both are about the same for street cars. In high horsepower situations, an X is better, almost everyone in NA$CRAP uses a X. They do have a different sound than each other.

In general an X-pipe will give you a bit more high end power then an H-pipe and a H-pipe will give you a bit more low end power. When I say a bit I mean it's almost insignificant. If you bought an aftermarket version of either you will see a good improvement over your stock h-pipe.

An H-pipe produces a deeper muscle car tone, while an X-pipe produces a loader racier tone.

Hope that helps.

A lot of it depends on personal preferance. There's a difference in sound, and the X is supposed to flow a little better than the H, but I doubt you could tell the difference between the two in the seat of the pants.

I have an X, and I'm satisfied with it, if that helps any.

oh boy, it will flow like crap, the reason that the Ford exhaust sucks is the lack of mandrel bends, each kink and bump in the pipe slows the flow down. For most 5.0's, a better flowing muffler and a set of mandrel bent pipes is all they need, if fact for a stock engine, the stock diameter of 2.25 inches is perfect

Noobs get hammered for bumping old threads when they use the search feature and they get hammered for creating new ones if its been covered before.

It appears the only acceptable way for a beginner not to offend the locals is to post their naked gf/wives first, then ask questions. This tidbit of information needs to be added to the registration form asap.
