Default H or X-pipe over stock?

From everything I've read, with cats,(my state requires em) there in no real hp gains with aftermarket H or X-pipe over stock mid pipes! True or False and why?

I personally don't know but from what i've read in this forum people seem to like the H pipes for some reason.

If you want deep muscle car sound, H Pipe is the way to go. After market mid pipes do give around 8-10 Horsepower
