I have a 00 mustang gt with pretty much all bolt ons. I have a bassani x pipe installed in it and I wanted to changed it over to an H pipe to get a deeper sound. Is there a difference in performance? I have someone trading me a BBK h pipe off road for my bassani off road x pipe does this sound like a good deal? Thanks

 

u wont notice the difference in power, just the amazing sound.. i got a BBK OR H and i love it.

 

Does the deal I am being offered sound good or should he add some money to this deal?

 

both arent were much i paid 90 for mine but its was hardly ever used

 

No a straight trade like your doing is good. Also the difference between the two is gonna be mostly sound.

 

find someone who can install it with out causing an exhaust leak

lol sorry dustin your work is still appreciated.

 

So wouldn't an x pipe make for a better sound? does an x-pipe actually send the exhaust note from your left cylinder all the out from the left pipe and the right cylinder out the right side. And an H-pipe just blends both together out of both pipes? Seems to me an x-pipe would actually sound more like true dual exhaust. The way old muscle cars would sound before cats were involved..

 

you probably couldnt be more wrong.. the X blends more than an H...

 

H-pipes make the deep muscle car sounds, and X-pipes make a high pitched some call raspy sound like euro v8 cars. Me I'm an H-pipe guy only. Both help equalize the exhaust pulses on each banks firing order to help with flow.

 

I looked up the prices on both the pipes mines new would go for about 339 and his is only like 170... I don't really think its an even trade anymore what do you guys think? Thats if they were new but they're not I know lol but mine still sounds like its a pricier product than his...

 

Trade and some cash sounds about right.

 

ahah why would someone pay 340 for an X pipe lol

 

Ahh, I see now, so it's actually better to have some sort of mid pipe rather than 1 pipe for each cylinder head.. For more flow action either way.. Thanks for that. Never really thought about flow from a performance view..

 

For a v8 or any other motor that has a un even firing order then its a good idea. For something like the v10 vipers or many v6 motors that are even firing there is little point to having it.

As for the original poster, does your x-pipe have cats? You never said anything about cats on the car. So if you do have cats then yes that mid pipe would be worth more.

 

No i my x pipe is off road with no cats as mentioned earlier... but I guess since its bassani it makes it worth more than a BBK O/R h pipe bcuz mine was going for 339 his only 170 thats IF they were new but they're not.

 

my mac or h pipe makes it sound amazing idle and all. lets the inner beastly sound out. i agree with above statement, x pipes give too much backfire. almost as much as an srt-4

 

Backfire? can you explain kinda new at this
