What is the difference and which is best for daily driving..I currently am running an H pipe with 4os and am looking at going into superturbos...should I also swap out the h pipe and what kind of difference will there be in sound and volume:shrug:

Remember, if you drop the cats, the volume will go up considerably. For most that's just fine, especially if you aren't doing a cam and louder mufflers. But if you do, then the volume can get loud (too loud for me).
 
Probably the only one on here and mustangexhaust, to go along with everyother forum that runs the Flowmaster D-pipe :lol:

I had a h-pipe before...i liked it. But doesnt compare to the d-pipe. The d-pipe still rumbles at idle etc like an h which i love, but when it goes through the rpms, it gets higher pitched like the x pipes. Plus, its only $160 from summit racing. Cant beat that.

But its all taste...some guys love h's, some love x's, i love d's lol, which seems to be a cross breed between the 2. Volume will be about the same with everything else held constant, the main difference will be the tone.

I personally say to put that cash into something else. Where about in michigan are u ? Im in ypsilanti/ann arbor.

So the main question here is, are you a state fan or michigan fan??

The whole D pipe thing doesnt make much sense to me. After all, generally speaking all it is is what alot of companies call x-pipes that arent really true x-pipes.

I'm not sure what there is to not make sense...its not close to any other x-pipe i've seen....

bbk x-pipe(not a true x...flow is directed into a wall....)

Now i say a x pipe is when it directs flow to the other side and makes the gases cross path...the dr. gas does this...the bbk does this but with a terrible design IMO, but the D-pipe does not do this...just like an h pipe doesnt do it. 95% of the gases will not go into the other side of the exhaust...it will flow right past the cross over in a d-pipe, just like a h pipe. But, due to the design of the actual "cross over" it sounds different than a h pipe.

Hopefully that clears it all up:nice:
