Default 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!

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.

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.

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

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!
