thats what i thought, but the X is actually a true style X (like a Magnaflow), not the crappy X/H design like BBK, Bassani, BX, and a few other companies.

it gave the car a really high pitched tone and wasnt "blatty" at all...

i loved it, especially at 3000rpm it started to scream

heres a few clips, sorry about the crappy quality, but you get the idea...

BBK OR X

has more of an H pipe sound to it (hollow and deeper)

true style OR X much higher pitched sound

and if that didnt make you cream your pants this will...lol

i definently like the H-pipe sound better i like the deeper sound. so i think ill stick with the bbk X-pipe since you guys say its more of an H-pipe actually. i may just go with a catback though and save the rest of my refund money for a rainy day

yea i know thats why i spent a couple hours on youtube looking for vids of 5.0 mustangs with SLP LM exhaust. also if the BBK OR Hpipe is a deeper sound i like that its more of an old school sound which i like seeing as how i started out with old school mustangs

i have flowmasters on there right now, i believe 40 series, and they sound good but ive heard quite a few SLP LM exhausts and absolutely love them. i think ill go with just the catback for now and since there is already an O/R H-pipe on the car ill be able to decide whether i like the sound with the H-pipe or not. i also might just get this H-pipe that is already on teh car modified to work with the long tubes as long as it doesnt cost an arm and a leg
