Custom H pipe
Ok i currently have GT takeoffs with straight pipes and was wondering what the difference in sound would be going to a H pipe. My muffler shop told me they would do it for free and was wondering if it would beworth it . any help would be appreciated.

try it... it's FREE!
it should help equalize the tone a little bit if anything. supposedly makes it deeper. I have an h-pipe on mine, but its tough to hear the difference in x/h piping, at least for me.

i have a y pipe now from my magnaflow dual exit and got a ticket. so i took off the muffers from the magna's and put on dual gt500 take off's and they dont sound nearly as deep and mean as the ones i heard on youtube. Is it cause i have the y pipe still in place???

Anyway though, to the OP, I would definitely go for the free H pipe crossover. From what I've heard straight pipes back don't sound great on our V6s, and between straight pipes and an H pipe the H should give your a nicer overall sound.
And hell, it's free, so if you don't love the sound you can always have the H connection removed and the holes welded shut.

I had dual straight pipes for a year and now I have an H pipe. Definitely do it! With straights, I felt like my car sounded like two 3-cylinder engines. The H-pipe equalizes thesound and it soundsso much better and full. I have a couple Magnaflow glasspacks mounted like a mid-muffler system and it sounds fantastic to me.

I've heard that dual straights don't sound all that good? Go for the H if its free (what, your brother in law owns the muffler shop???...LOL) Iv'e been told by several good sources that an H hurts low end torque (but sounds awsome). If you go that route, I would really love to hear some feedback.

should be a big improvement on sound over straights. deeper and throatier.

I ran straight pipes for about a month. The sound is alright unless you're above 2-3k RPMs and then it just sounds basically kinda ricy. I liked the tone but it just didn't sound good when you stepped on it. When I got the H-pipe put in it took about 15% or so of the volume out but I was rewarded with deeper, fuller sound. Sounds GREAT now at WOT. Looking back I'd do it again for sure although the straight pipes sounded badass at idle.
