Default Noob question...

What exactly is the difference betwee an H-Pipe and an X-Pipe? And what are the advantages/disadvantages to the both of them? What would be the best set-up for an sn95? Thanks -John

One looks like an H and the other looks like an X. IMO, the X-pipe produces a much better sound with the 6er.

OK so, I have the Y-Pipe stock. Would it be smart to change that to an X-Pipe, or should I just not do anything to that at all? Because I'm looking into a set of MAC 2.5" dual exit cat-backs that is a direct bolt-on to the Y-Pipe...It costs around $330. They're the ones that are on sale at www.v6mustangstuff.com if you wanna see them for yourself...

The only problem that I would face going no cats would be that I live in CA and we have VERY strict smog laws...But I'm going to look into the true duals and see how much those are. I'm most likely going to keep the Y-Pipe for now due to funds. As long as it sounds good, BeachStang, I'll take your word for it and leave the Y-Pipe. Thanks everyone.

Yeah that could work. Again, that'll have to take place later on in time when I get enough funds to do everything I wanna do...
