H pipe Vs X pipes Vs True Duals
i searched and searched cant find anything i can use
nway,,:
wich one is better in performance and wich one is the better sounding one
im planning on true duals exiting before the front tires on each side..
im leaning more towards the true duals.. i can make equal length exhaust under the truck there is space enough

X or H will offer more power due to the scavenging effect created from the crossover. In my opinion H & X sound far better than true duals, but I think true duals sound like sh*t. Everyone's opinion is different. X sounds best during driving & wot, H sounds better at idle imo. I run an H now, but if I had to pick again I would have gone with the X.
As far as power production between the X or H, the only way you're going to find out is dyno the car with both setups a couple times. Some people on here will say X is more powerful, some will say H. I've seen dyno tests where both produced more. mm&ff & a few other companies tested & both got mixed answers. in one case the X produces more, in another the H did. Personally I would pick based on sound between the H or X & I wouldn't pick the duals at all due to significantly lower power.

ok then H pipe it is..!
have you guys ever heard about this??
experienced engine builder told me :
Little bit of info...if you do plan on doing an H pipe...throw some paint on the first 3ft of your pipes, and where the paint is burned off...that's the optimal place for the H pipe.
