Default H-pipe vs. X-pipe



X pipe - upper rpm power increase</P>


H pipe - Off the line power increase (which GT's lack already).</P>


If you plan on dragging your car, I'd say an h-pipe would be a good idea. Mustang's lack the torque a V8 should have...you need TQ to get off the line and HP to push you the rest of the way! Let the H-pipe fufill your torque needs, and all the other mods fufill your HP needs, while making minor contributions to torque along the way </P>

Im hearing way more power in comparing X or H pipes. Neither one produces high hp numbers in and of themselves anyway. I see cars running H pipes that are faster than cars with X pipes and vice versa. We all have. Go with the one that sounds the best to you. Im curious to know which one produces the best average torque?

H-pipes are for TQ (which Mustangs lack) &amp; X-pipes are for HP. Both make nice gains in both categories...but you get the idea.

Actually, the H pipe is a cheap method to help cancel out the differences in exhaust pulses between cylinder banks, in essence, giving twice the pulse frequency and speeding up exhaust flow.</P>


</P>


The X pipe does the same method, but instead of using a perpendicular pipe to do it, it uses a great flowing X shape. This helps torque production down low (which you people don't seem to comprehend one thing....BACKPRESSURE IS HORRIBLE) and give sweet *** numbers on the top end.</P>


</P>


It's an excelent solution for race or street.</P>

Also, the Flowmaster Deltaflows.....the Arrows are in there to create a vacume to speed up exhaust velocity. It wasn't put there to quiet it down, that was more of an after-effect. Go with Magnaflow or Dynomax, they both sound sweet and deep, and have no baffles to get in the way of the exhaust and restrict it like Flowmasters do.</P>

Bulls**t. Not with compareable mods. If you're pitting a nitrous H pipe up against a X pipe with an intake....I'll believe you.</P>
