This is the way I always understood it, but some of you are saying it's just the opposite on the 5.0?

Yep, thats the way it usually is, and is true on the older ones. If someone has some videos and real first hand knowledge on the 5.0 that is different i'd like to hear it. But I like the way my X pipe sounds... I haven't heard it from the outside though.

this is the only video i have of it with the x-pipe and i think you can hear the other car a lot louder


this guy has an off-road H but different mufflers so hard to compare

The only comparison that I have made with my 2011 is between stock h pipe vs BBK x pipe. An after market h pipe may sound deeper less raspier. From this experience IMO the x pipe was a whole lot smoother & less sound with roush axlebacks. I could feel the difference on in tourqe when I take off. I fixed the difference by removing the resonator. It sounds loud over 2300 RPM. Also a bit more pop and crispier vs with resonator. At Wot it sounds amazing. I may try putting back on the stock mid pipe to see how it sounds. I can almost garuntee that itll be way too loud.

I hope that my experience with the stock h pipe vs aftermarket x pipe has helped you.

By the way Mishri your gt sounds great
