[Elvis67]

Have you tried smoothing them out

Damit ..I mean roush..I did accidentally rip one off on a parking curb before ..backing up to much..that sucked. Definitely was not smooth after that .

H Pipe is up 61% to 35% X Pipe. Ive had a bunch of set ups, Just recently got rid of my double helix X pipe, I went back to 3"0 H pipe with my new catback and headers and will stay with this set up, love the muscle tone.

IMO H-pipe sounds better. X-pipe performs better.

I went around and around when buying the exhaust I did (Borla S type). To simplify it, after lots of reading, I agree with your short statement. So I grabbed the Borla with the X. To me is does sound different than the MBRP that was on it (the previous owner bought it), with an H, but I like it. It howls at the moon and I think it sounds better now. But I know the consensus is an H sounds better.

This car is so fun to drive around town with the windows down.

I think both are great and really make the car howl. I went with the Roush H pipe and paired with axel backs and I love the sound and I get compliments on it at least once a week. I think what really matters is what you enjoy and we all have our personal preferences.

Which one is your favorite? What are the pros and cons to them?

I installed an xpipe after hearing my buddies car with an hpipe, we both have the active exhaust and it was just bit too raspy i guess is what I'm getting at it was just buy too much. Now the xpipe is perfect as far as I'm concerned it sounds amazing in sport and track mode and loud enough that I was pulled over for it.

Dig deeper into Speed-Talk and you’ll uncover deep in the weeds 4-2-1 header conversations.

IOW, a tri-Y header. You could get those back in the 1960s. Doug Thorleys.

Because most people prefer the crossplane V8's signature low frequency rumble. It's not something that many people dare to be different about.

Summit Racing posted availability around 8/20/21

If that's the case I'll buy em.

I mean every Ford Modular needs better low end TQ, it's been an issue since the mid 90's lol

Sometimes, more gear. 98 Cobras good example, 3.27 diff.

Better? Or different…art is in the eye of the beholder

I mean really? Whats your point in quoting me with that response? I said "I think", which means exactly what you just said. So my response is, no shit sherlock.

I didn't say it as I was right and everyone else was wrong, I said I think.
