true straight pipes will produce LESS power than a H or X pipe.

less torque, cause there is less back preasure.

It will move the torque and HP peak higher in the rpm, in most cases.

not always, the cross-over equalizes the air flow and helps move the air out quicker, if a pair of straight pipes produced more HP at 7500-9000 RPM, then why does NASCAR run X pipes?

RE: running strait pipes

aren't you just talking about removing the mufflers and leaving the midpipe? it'll be loud, not necessarily good sounding but like said it'll move your power and torque curve up.

I meant that it shifts the torque/power curve upwards, I was commenting on the misconceprion that a loss of backpressure making it lose torque. I did not mean to imply anything about an X pipe.
