Default New mod for my birthday

So i might be dumping my cats come feburary or march timeframe
So now i need to decide which way to go....X or H pipe so i need some imput on pro's / con's from ya'lls personal experience.

Im thinking X-pipe due to when i race its always upper RPMS. But then i hear an H pipe and think damn that sounds good

X-Pipe! It sounds just as good as an H imo. The X-Pipe will pay off via trap speeds, trust me. And they sound sick imo. Your engine makes power up top anyway, and thats where the X-pipe does work as well, so it makes sense.

X fo-sho! Gives you a more wide-open throttle kinda sound imo. What cat-back do you have?

I have the SSS something or other....i will never buy anything but SSS again for the sound!!!
only complaint i have is their bands are sub par, but i have an earlier production piece so that might be the issue...and if i support something like that you know it's good stuff

You may see some loss of low end torque going with a completely straight through exhaust. Its not a question of X or H, but for some reason Machs seem to lose a bit of low end when using any off-road pipe and straight through mufflers. I'm not saying they all do this, but mine did this last time around. I swapped the straight thrus for some chambered mufflers and the car felt much better.
