X vs H pipes

[red97svt]

there seems to be some debate on the subject. which is the setup to have an x or an H pipe. i have a stock 97 and can't decide which way to go for the exhaust system. these clips help, but not the same as actually hearing them. what is the best setup to go with.

p.s. I am going to go with o/r and want it to be a loud rumble, similar to what older muscle cars sound like. thanks.

If your looking for the rumble then go with the H.

I have had an O/R H and now have an O/R X.

The X is not as deep toned in upper RPMS and likes to pop alot on decel.

+1 o/r H and flowmasters for that old school classic rumble.

I think X's flow better but Hs dont have that crackle. Personally I love the crackle.

X pipes are raspy, and have more crackle. They produce more HP higher in the range but lose some low/mid torque.

H-pipes are more mellow and dont have much rasp. They dont gain as much HP, but they dont lose as more torque.

If you want the classic muscle car sound, there's nothing better than an offroad H pipe and 40 series Flows, listen for yourself...

I like flows and X

The power difference between X and H is minimal, not enough to notice a difference. IMO no V8 should have an X...sounds to high and crackly. I have a OR H, with dumps, and my car doesn't crack or pop at all. I love it.

When I'm driving next to a semi, and I can't hear his truck, that is awesome.

I have an O/R X and Flowmasters right now. I really like the way it sounds but I can't wait to get an O/R H. I want the deeper burble and "wa-wa". Eventually I'll get LT headders and then I'll be done with the exhaust.

Very nice, how does it sound on an idle?

that is exactly what i want. some people don't want a system that is too loud, but my car has 30k on it and i plan on keeping it low so there is no daily driving in my future and i say the louder the better.

I like flows and X

flows and X sound like a dying animal IMO.

 

[Evil Bender]

I have an off road X and wish I had an H , I dont like the crakle.

i think the absolute best sounding car is a 99-04 mustang gt with stock exhaust manifolds, a o/r bassani X, and welded in flow 40s

 

[MouTine]

I have BBK X O/R with stock other parts. I'm going to add one free-flow-botle-muflers to front soon. Hope that cut some high ratling noise away.

More like a 5.0.

Cam, LTs, O/R-H and flows dumped is the best sounding car ever.

I love the crackling of my X pipe. On decel it pops like crazy. Turns heads everytime..as if the 10 series didnt attract enough attention already lol.

Turns heads?

The average person turns heads like WTF is wrong with that thing.

Car people turn to listen and think "Damm that's loud"

True mustang people turn and think "He should have got the H-pipe. that X is raspy and pops too much.
oke: oke: oke:
