Well i have a Mac off road H. I hear you get more hp from an H but you get better sound with an X. Either way I love the sound of the offroad H with the long tubes and flows. But lets hear some opinions

ya i was gonna get a bassani offroad X-pipe but i got talked out of it by a worker at MustangsUnlimited. I like the way the car sounds but i have heard some nasty soundin X-piped cars that just sound increadable. So magnapacks sound better then flows? If so how much they usually run?

yeah you got that backwards buddy x= more power because it has better flow
h=less power but deeper sound
i prefer more power but some people spend so much money to enhace power and yet they hurt themselves for a few decibles, so that there car will sound meaner, i prefer my "bite to be worse than my bark"...lol

i just read in a magazine...h- pipe is a lot louder than a x pipe..they tested each the x and the h.. and there is only 6 hp difference in the two on the test car..
