I just picked up a stock 97 gt 5spd and the first thing i plan to do is exhaust. Could somebody please tell me the difference between an X pipe and an H pipe?? and any recommendations? Thank you.

 

one looks like an X and the other looks like an H, they have different sounds too. Listen to some clips and decide what you like better.

 

What i meant by the difference was the performance and sound not what they look like haha, but thanks.

 

If you are looking for better HP with mods in the future the x pipe flows better making more power.

 

An Xpipe will have a higher raspier tone compared to an Hpipe which will have a lower deeper rumble. If you want something inbetween and different you can get whats called a prochamber. It's like a mix between a 440 'cuda and a crotch rocket! Later bro!

 

h pipe will sound better, x pipe yields a little more horsepower. i happen to have an h-pipe for sale if you want it. i don't know how much it will be to ship tho, as it can't be broken down. pm me if you're interested

 

h pipe on a push rod Mustang....x pipe on a modular imo

 

I prefer the idle of cars with H, I prefer the accelerating sound of X. Wot sound depends on the mufflers, both sound good imo.

 

There is no significant notice in performance, that's why I said get what you like sounds better. In terms of power gains it doesn't matter, the real gains are from the 2.5" pipe, be it off-road or high flow catted.
