H-pipe vs X-pipe comparison video

[Terminator2]

X-pipe for sure. Sounds much meaner and more aggressive.

This. And it's especially apparent when do long tubes with a X vs an H.

X pipe sounds more consistent across the revs like the air flow is more smooth where the H pipe has different points where it gets quiet or raspy. The air flow is less smooth across the revs.

The WOP X sounds broke!

How has no one complimented this man on his license plate holder yet?!

Lol, thanks man. Believe it or not a lot of people have zero clue, I keep thinking I am the only Chris Farley fan :cheers:

OP you'll love your new setup, I'm running the full 3inch SW headers no cats to SW catback with H..sounds brutal.

I'm excited!

You were using the Pypes-Bomb axle back along with the X/H pipe?

Thanks so much for the video!

Yes sir, that exact axle back. IMO the bang for the buck ($300-350 for the axle backs and $150 for the mid pipe) is definitely there if you want something loud.

Great comparison vid though.

I have the pypes axle back now with the stock resonator. Have thought about the x-pipe, but don't want it to be obnoxiously loud. Would you say that is the case? Is it closer to 20% or 50% louder?

Thanks.

I guess I'm a minority when it comes to the H pipe. I personally liked the sound of the H pipe a little better than the X, and bought a cat back system with an H. I have long tubes coming and an intake manifold sitting waiting to install at the same time. I'm eager to hear how it's all gonna sound in person.

H-pipe definitely comes off as deeper (more muscular?) sounding to me. Liked how it rocked the camera (I know, I know, it's just placement...the X would have done the same). The X-pipe seems taught (sp?), high strung even....I love it!! The hot start seemed to settle down immediately, like it was ready to get to business! Thanks [MENTION=15475]daltron[/MENTION] for posting this...I'm going w/the X-pipe for my (hopefully) final exhaust purchase....

Maybe a minority in this thread but not overall....many a folk like the H-pipe. I had H-pipe on my Fox body, and X-pipe on my '95 GT...Loved them both. Also why I've been on the fence with this car. Think I'm going with X-pipe, but would like to hear your setup once it's all done. Except for the catback (I'm sticking with the stock) would be the same....

I couldn't say either way, sorry [MENTION=17049]glossygt[/MENTION]. The axlebacks have only been on my car with the H and X pipes, never with the resonator. It is LOUD though either way.

Sure, I can probably do that. I'm doing those mods the middle of next month. And yeah, the H pipe sounded a little deeper to me, that's why I think I went for it. Nothing wrong with an X at all, to each his own.
