Like others have said, H is deeper...but X is raspy and louder. I put the Steeda H on mine and it's awesome! Still think there's some rasp in it at high RPMs, but that's just the engine design of the modern 5.0.

If the comments was the x pipe makes a bit more hp then yes thatā€™s a fact but the comment was ā€œthe x pipe makes much more power than the Hā€
There is always a 2 part truth with any upgrade, reality and fantasy, this upgrade it is sound/ hp.

Going out on a limb, I know, don't mind and up to it. But this "deep rumble & H pipe" is pure fantasy.

Don't like "raspy" 2 choices buy another car, replace the motor.............period, raspy is angry & I like angry.

Lol yeah I donā€™t know man Iā€™m still torn which route to go, my hearing sucks so from what I can tell from clips is the H seems to have a bit deeper tone to it and not quite as raspy but bottom line is the 5.0 engine itself is raspy. Originally I was thinkin H pipe because I was reading that they make a little better torque and X made a little better hp on the big end and imo these 5.0ā€™s need a lot of help on the torque side but not really seeing data to support that hell in steedas clip it showed the X a bit higher in tq and hp what Iā€™d really like to see is I direct comparison like that with the corsa double H and double X but everything else stock

My 2015 GT, The H-pipe was recalled due to cross pipe hole being too small. So I went with an X-pipe.

I presume you've contacted Borla? I know the switchfire is included with their GT500 version of the ATAK cat back https://www.borla.com/products/ford-mustang-shelby-gt500-cat-back-exhaust-system-140837 and then they make this to fit it on a Mach 1 https://www.borla.com/products/ford-mustang-mach-1-connecting-pipe-60722.
Yes I did contact them and all they said was basically Iā€™d have to figure out all what adapters Iā€™d need because all I want is the resonator delete pipe donā€™t wanna spend 3 grand on a cat back, the way that link reads to me is that adapter is to mate up their cat back to stock cats. So basically I need adapters for the front and the rear of the switch fire pipe to mate to the stock set up and I have no idea what sizes I need

I run the Steeda Hpipe on my '22 GT with active exhaust. It definitely wakes up the car, I dig it. Cold starts are hilarious lol..

Can't wait to install my longtubes..

But the adapters are for use with the GT500 cat back which includes the switchfire x pipe so those should do it I would think. Maybe you'd need two sets of those adapters, one on each end? Either that or take it to an exhaust shop.
