Umm.. call me crazy, but unless your going with twins, getting an H or an X pipe is kinda pointless... Both your exhausts will come into a single collector that bolts to the exhaust wheel housing on your turbo, with a single exhaust out of the turbo that you can split if ya want. However, putting an X or H in that is pointless..

Even if you are going twins, I would still wait to pivck your exhaust. A turbo is going to quiet down an exhaust ALOT and change the tone considerably. Wait and see how it changes the stock tone, and then decide. I've seen turbos knock almost 30 db off of exhaust sounds. You may even want to go with a straight thru, like an SLP LM or something.

Actually I'm going twins, and believe it or not, I want an X pipe + mufflers combo mostly for the sound!! the sound of the axle backs alone isn't enough, yeah..better call ME crazy for spending money on sound! I know the stock exhaust is effecient up to 600hp... they say...
