X pipe = more high end hp, higher pitch exotic sound and possible rasp with chambered mufflers depending on the brand you select.

H pipe = more tq down lown, deeper rumbly exhaust note that reminds you of 60s muscle cars.

No offroad pipe is 50 state legal for street use.

Very well said man. and yes off-road mid pipes are not legal anywhere.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong but an X pipe will give you more of a raspy sound and more top end power. The H pipe will give you more low end power and give you more of a muscle car sound.

o/r x or h pipe that is 50 state legal?? I wouldn't believe that one.....I'm running a Mac Prochamber with cats and I'm not legal by CA standards, but it just depends where you live cause some states have tougher laws than others.

You are correct. X will give more Hp which is good for top end....but H will give you more torque which is good for getting out of the hole. To be honest an H on the 4.6L is the way to Mustangs are known for getting out of the hole might as well add on to that. The differences are basically in the sound and what you prefer. NO OFFROAD PIPE IS LEGAL. Just dont get caught ..I rather be safe than sorry

Offroad means no cats totally straight through...theres no such thing as an catted offroad pipe. But there are some cats that are hi flow and sometimes dont pass emissions...

Nice choice, what one did you get? Your going to love the sound. I went with the Mac Prochamber w/cats and I kinda wish I would have gotten it without cats cause my exhaust is really quiet.....It's a sleeper

Which one was yours, the Red one or the mineral gray? I liked the way the red one sounded better.
