I am looking to get an H pipe fabricated for my mustang and I was wondering what the pros and cons of getting one on the V6 is. I already have the dual magnaflows on my car.

The H pipe will give you a deeper sound, the only way to make it deeper/louder is to do the H in combination with headers. If that is not deep enough for you, get a prochamber. Just PM MSP over on themustangsource.com. He has it and it is a beast.

The general rule is H for sound, X for performance. However, no one has proven a gain over the H with an X. My car is in the shop for the next 5 days for a slew of modifications (writes to come shortly), and one of them is a before and after dyno of the X pipe. So some time this week, I will be publishing dynos with the X.

But if a deeper sound is what you are after, you are on the right track.

I've got an JBA "H" set-up on my V6, and the pro is the sound. A nice deep throaty sound. The con is I didn't try anything else so I can't see how good it is over other set ups. Money well spent.

I do like the JBA's, I was lucky enough to hear them up close. I think they are more distinctive than my magnaflows.

I emailed jba about switching my y-pipe to an h....

From the mouth of babes ...er... I mean... jba...

[Hamid,
Don't worry about it. The Performance and sound are identical.....just a slightly different design.]

If Rygen's x-pipe yields 2 hp, an h-pipe might be about the same or less... a 0-2 hp increase.

I still think the h-pipe might be a little deeper in sound. But, with headers, I don't really mind... she snarls!

I just dyno'd my ride, X pipe over Y pipe, 2HP gain.

Which X-pipe are you using?
