BBK, and I would suggest an X-Pipe, not an h-pipe, little bit different power curve, its pretty slight though from what I've heard.

My BBK is put together awesome and has worn the abuse of two modded 5.0L in 95' stangs and then outside for 2 years and then in my stang, its a damn good product.

With an X-Pipe the exhaust doesnt have to route a 90 degree angle to connect and equalize the exhaust flow, an X-Pipe is more like a streight through merging of the two and then out again, it merges into a larger area so there is no restriction. The sound is also slightly different, more throat on an X.

I've heard people say there is a 5hp diff between the two and I have heard people say there can be as much as a 15hp diff depending on application. But on a normal street car with bolt ons I dont think the different would be too great or notticable.

5-15HP difference? try 1-2. the H offers more "low end" power and the X offers more "peak HP". the difference is so small though just get the sound you want. the H actually has the deeper, throatier sound to it and is much louder. the X has more of a deep grumble and a pur to it, but sounds just sick when you romp on the gas.
