Default H-pipe vs. X-pipe

An X-pipe will sound like a European car, an H-pipe will sound like a 60's muscle car. If you want loud sound, I heard the Delta Flows reduce the sound level, but that is based on what someone told me. But I knew someone who put those on his 02 GTand it sounded fairly loud, even w/o aftermarket h-pipe. My car was louder than his though. I have a 96 GT and my car is very loud and has an aggressive sound. I have the 40 series Flows (this has the most aggressive sound) without the Delta Flow anda 2.5" BBKoff road H-pipe w/o cats.

actually an h pipe and x pipe are junctioned to equal out exhaust pulses and increase scavenging. the x pipe does it more effeciently than the h pipe because the transition is smoother. therefore the x pipe makes more power overall and results in a smoother sounding car that will have a little more of a howl to it. the h pipe will make less power but it ill be louder and a little more choppy sounding.

the delta flows are made with a delta int he front of them which is supposed to reduce interior resonance. but they also are quieter because the cancel out the resonance.

No offense to anybody, but I got two totally different answers lol. The majority of you suggest x-pipe. What brand should I go with, or does it matter? And 40 series flows? Would this be a good sound to my GT? Thanks for all the help.

Dr.gas makes an awsome x pipe and 40 series flows are the way to go. but if you want a different sound try spintech. www.spintechmufflers.com</P>

If you want hard core sound, go with the H-pipe. If you want performance, go with the X-pipe. From what you said earlier, you are looking for sound and not as much performance b/c you were gonna do other upgrades to it. GO WITH THE H-PIPE! You won't be dissapointed in the sound trust me, I have one! It will turn heads!!!

From what i've read, Both the H-pipe and X-pipe are almost equal performancewise, the X pulling a little more HP than the H. The H will give you a loud azzed sound, the X will make it "crisper". It will have a nice sound to it. Personally I like the X pipe better, thats whats goin on my car. I'm most likely goin to get the Bassani X for my ride.
