X vs. H ??
 
I was thinking about long tubes with an x-pipe. What is the sound difference of having the x-pipe to the h-pipe. I have always had h-pipes but the company I want to order from dont make h-pipes. I will be running the offroad version -no cats- so is the x going to louder or deeper than what I have??? Thanks!

h pipe is deeper but the x will yeild more gains in hp

Go on what sounds best, not what makes the most hp. Esp. if its a daily driver. The hp difference between an x and an h is not enough to notice so its basically what you like the sound of better.

well I wanna go with the h but the company only offers a x pipe..and cause I have never heard an x personally I was asking what they sounded like...

MRT makes a Hpipe out of 304SS. Im considering it but its $500 new with high flow cats.

get a mac they are cheap as fuq. i got mine used for liek 70bucsk or was it 75 either way it was cheap.

2000silvergt 07-27-2005 08:41 PM

I am not sure if another h-pipe will work with slp or flowtech headers???
and both companies only have x-pipes to match the longtubes!

You can make anything work, its just do you wanna cut it up or not.

just go with the x-pipe, I have one and have had many people follow me just to ask what kind of exhaust I have. Personally I love the sound of both, but it is two different sounds, and some people don't like the raspy x-pipe sound.

I have an X-pipe and I'm considering going to an H. Personally, I'd rather have my car rumble with an H-pipe as opposed to sing with an X-pipe.

I love my hooker X.. :D ..they are a bit more quiet than H pipes too! Hell, my car use to be alot louder with stock manifolds and o/r H and flows! No I have hooker LT's, hooker x pipe and bullets and its kinda quite, but once you stomp on the gas! :eek: ...

Most likely you will have to reset your computer after you install the Mil's...

I'm installing a Magnaflow Tru X pipe W/C next weekend and will let you know how it sounds :)

96juicedgt 08-01-2005 01:11 PM

i love x pipes....with a set of bbk long tubes and dr. gas x and 40 series flows it makes the most hellacious sound ever!!! it sounds nothing like an h...i have an h on my car with the same setup (bbk long tubes & 40 series flows) and the difference is night and day! I would recommend a dr. gas to anyone :D

2000silvergt 08-02-2005 07:08 PM

Well I Am Going To Try The O/r X-pipe. Hopefully It Will Sound Good With The Lt's And Flowmaster Catback. If Not Then I'll Look Into Buying An O/r H-pipe That Will Bolt Up To The Lt's, Thanks For All The Help!
