Default Are all O/R H-Pipe's the same?

I need to replace my o/r x-pipe with a o/r h-pipe but not sure which one to get. Are there any differences with one from the other? Like bbk, mac, flowtech, etc... It will be on my fox.

It's old & I don't like the sound of the X on pushrod motors, too tingy & raspy. I want a deep sounding exhaust.

I got a bbk two piece and it works great. I like the sound of it a lot.it bolted up very Nicely. It fits to stock or if u have long tubes make sure that u get the right one.

H will always sound better than x. You only sacrifice a whopping HP to make your car sound significantly better. Listen to the exhaust sound clips sticky. Then decide what you like.
