X vs h pipe power torque and sound differences?

[Streetcar]

Anyone have dyno numbers, information on what they prefer etc? Any sound differences on the car, youtube it's hard to tell x vs h.

lets call it <5 hp gains with x pipe and <5 torque gains with H pipe.. sound is preference.

 

[Todd15Fastback]

X-pipe is more of a raspy sound while the h-pipe is more of a deeper, throaty sound.

What does everyone prefer on these cars ? With the h pipe do they sound more like an original lx 5.0?

I'd like to know as well..from the stainless works video I kinda thought the h/x pipe sounded the same but was leaning towards the x pipe as I liked the sound better but I'd like some opinions as well I'd think with the flow of the x pipe and high rpm 5.0 the x pipe would be better with its flow characteristics

The X-pipe will flow a little better due the scavanging effect on the heads because of the uneven firing order of the engine but has a mellower tone usually.
The H-pipe is more of a "balance" pipe between the two exhaust pipes and will usually have more of a "bark" to it.
X-pipes usually produce slightly more hp and torque than H-pipes (both make more than stock)
That being said, the tone of the exhaust will very greatly between manufactures out there. (same for backpressure, hp & torque of said systems)

Basically no difference at all in power/torque. X-Pipe is a smoother tone, h-pipe is slightly choppy/aggressive. X-Pipe does not cause rasp. Actual tone of the exhaust will rely mostly on the muffler design, not the crossover.

x pipe is usually worth a few horsepower on an n/a car, a little more on a power adder car.

the h will be deeper, the x will be a little raspier

both sound very good.

we have installed both at the shop, and both sound good, actually have another board member getting one installed as we speak , and he opted for the h.

I still haven't got to listen to them side by side though yet.

there are 2 guys at the dealership one got an x and one got an h. I am waiting for both to drive in on the same day so I can here them side by side

the old school in me likes the h better though from hearing them individually, but both of the SW setups sound killer.

Here is a video that will give some good tones on the x and h.

Unfortunately that video does not do stock headers with X pipe.

Sounds great what did it run you? That's a cool setup.

Not my car but it does sound really good.

H is deeper, X is raspier as has already been said. The X tends to make a bit more power, but in our opinion you should choose between one or the other based on sound preference rather than HP since the HP gains are so minimal between the two. 5HP is not worth having to deal with a sound you don't like.

X continues to pull hard on the top-end.
H will benefit more on the bottom half.

But the gains are minimal, Butt dyno tested.
