x- or h-pipe?
 

I've been lookin' around for exhaust set-ups for the 'stang and was wondering if I should get an x or h-pipe. I know what the obvious difference is, but does the crossover change tone or power or anything like that?

It'll change the tone but won't effect power on our engines.

Does x- have a lower tone? I just want a little raspyness at the higher RPMs as possible.

well the x pipe gives u a little less back preasure so u get a little bit of hp not much and they are not as loud as a h pipe

x's and h-pipes dont have a difference in the level of noise. The x will hands down be raspy as hell on a v6 (they are damn raspy on v8's) the only mid pipe you sohuld even do to a v6 (not that you even need one with even firing order motors) is an H-pipe to help keep some deepness to it.

Ok, thanks. I'll probably just go with the full MAC set-up.

depending on what state you live in. or if you just dont care of emissions..
if you live in california, go with the magnaflow full catback exhaust X-pipe. or if you dont care about emissions go with a bassani X-pipe. (magnaflow are legal.. and ANY other x pipe are illegal) as far as noise. X-pipe make far much noise than the h-pipe due to the fact that when the exhaust gases are traveling thru your h pipe, they have to make a full 90 degree turn, and cause a lot of restriction. x pipe forces air out with a swirl (noise) if your state alllows it or you plain just dont care..... X-PIPE ALL THE WAY!!!!:moreboost:

Not sure of whether it's legal in ohio or not, but i could give less a shit. I'm gettin' an o/r pipe anywho

FYI.. i used to have an 05 mustang v6.. and put in a full catback exhaust w/ X-pipe.. and my mom sold it to my cousin while i was in school.. then i bought a 05 Mustang GT.. put in a full catback flowmaster (h-pip).. the v6 and the gt, almost sounded similar.. of course the gt stood out more (it's a v8) but you know what i mean.. by the way.. if you ever got any questions and you feel some guys on this website are just yankin your chain... email me or post me a thread.. i cant think of anything better to do then to sit around talkin bout cars (SERIOUSLY!!! ITS A PASSION):Woot:

its has to be legal its ohio. I wish in cali we didnt have our dumb laws its all b/c of La I blame them.
