I was thinking of doing full exhaust, but I don't really know what an h pipe is or the benefits of them. How do they help sound and performance?

 

Do you recommend h pipes or x pipes?

 

It depends on what you like sound wise. An H pipe is a deeper tone, X pipe raspier. The mustang comes stock with an H pipe, But an aftermarket one is a bigger diameter and eliminates the two cats up near the manifolds (if the fox bodies have them...). I would look around you tube an listen to some sound clips to get a better idea of what you like. Fwiw, My new edge is running a borla stinger cat back with a magnaflow catted X pipe.

 

Just as the nice gentleman above me said, H pipe gives it a deeper "dronish" sound, and the X pipe has that raspy snap sound to it. All about what you prefer. I'm pretty sure the horsepower benefits are similar. The idea behind the H and X pipe design is to equal out exhaust pressure on both sides and allow even flow and better exhaust gas evacuation. Common sense would say the X would tend to flow better due to its design having less extreme angles in it though.

 

As said it is how you prefer your car to sound. I would always recommend an H pipe because I like it deep and don't like the raspy sound X pipes give.

Ummm, have ya read this thread?

 

Id say h-pipe for that nice ford muscle sound!!

 

Cool thanks for the input guys!! I think I'm gonna go with H. I'll post a vid when I'm done!

 

Put a set of BBk long tubes on it with a BBk shorty off-road Hipe and a flower master catback with some Super 44 on it. Whats on mine and it sounds bad ***. Chevy guys love it!
