X or H pipe???

[GregO]

Steeda has a video where they test them both. The X made much more power.

To bad they didn’t 1/4 mile track test.
I’d like to see the inside of that Steeda H-Pipe

Just ordered the Steeda X. The power increase over the H pipe is too significant in my humble opinion.

I have a MBRP H and I personally like it over the x pipe I had before, it has a more deeper tone around 2,500-3,500 and it’s less raspy

Now that right there is how to keep sound low and CFM high. Now all you need to is to eliminate the connection bottlenecks.
Looking really good

My son is going to fabricate something to eliminate the bottlenecks.

I agree. I usually tend to choose h pipes (Foxbody= H pipe + 2 chamber mufflers) but I think the Gen3 coyote sounds great with an H pipe. The power made is great, for such a small investment. Another terrific sound on these cars is the Flowmaster Outlaws, with factory resonator in place.

Best I’ve got :

The distortion near the top of the pipe is from my extra brackets welded on the outside (that’s what I was photographing).

The crossover is down the bottom of the pipe, you can just see it from 3:30 ish to 9:30 ish.

The crossover is full bore and the hole and welds are pretty smooth.

Hope that helps ?

That's what I was wondering.
I've seen many H crossovers where the mfg. pops an undersized hole in the sidewall of the main runs.
I'd expect nothing less than a full sized H crossover from Steeda, they typically do things right the first time.

I may toy around with an H pipe in the future but I have corsa active extreme, double X and kooks headers (free flowing) and added the small corsa resonators behind the double X. it deepened the sound and made it almost as quiet as the corsa was with stock headers. tons of sound clips and comparison clips in this video below!

I went with the Steeda h-pipe with the Borla s-type axle back and it sounds fantastic. At idle it has that great deep mustang v8 rumble and when you mash it, it is loud and angry. I prefer a deeper sound over the raspy.

I am running the ford performance x-pipe on my Mach 1 and think it sounds amazing but I preferred the rasp. I just watched videos of H vs X, steeda's I believe, and thought the x sounded better. Like several people have already said I think it just comes down to personal preference.

I have LTH with active exhaust. I installed the Steeda X-pipe. Did not see any noticeable gains at the track. A little too raspy for my taste. I swapped it out for the Steeds H-pipe. Sounds good, a little bit of rasp to it. Steeda pipes are very high quality.

My 16 GT 6spd had Lethal Performance H pipe and Roush AB. Deep growl in low RPMs and WOT it would scream. You can really control how it sounds while driving. I got lots of compliments with that setup.

What tune did you go with?

Planning to get the Xpipe from Ford Performance. I don't believe they offer an H. At some point I may go with the Borla atak that comes with their switch fire, that's made for the GT500 with the Mach 1 adapters.

As many have said it all comes down to personal preference. After researching the side by side sound comparisons I decided to go with a Ford Performance XP for the horsepower gain. I have AE and do most of my driving in track mode exhaust and it simply sounds awesome, not to raspy when jumping on 1st and 2nd gear and can’t really detect much drone if any at cruising speeds, but again just my opinion. Either way a good relatively inexpensive mod.
