o/r x-pipe or h-pipe, which is better?

[tilt827]

I just have a question on exhuast, this is my first build-up of one of these cars. I have already purchased some basic parts (cai,pullies,weld in flows,and ordering gears 3.55) and was wondering if an x-pipe is better than a h -pipe or the opposite?Is there a better company to buy or are they all about the same? Thanks for your time it's appreciated.

lol its funny how often these same exact questions come up. The search function is your friend.....

Neither is better than the other. Pick the sound you want and buy that pipe.

Thanks I completely forgot about the search idea, and also product reviews

I have a few more mods(cams...) but i have headers, o/r h-pipe w/ flows, take a listen....http://videos.streetfire.net/Player.aspx?fileid=96792E27-27D5-4BC9-99F4-85891B036953&term=95%20ford%20mustang%20gt&p=0

Like stated MANY times, H-Pipe has more of a old muscle car sound, more of a deep rumble. The X-pitch has an high pitch metallic sound , sounds more like "recent" sports car.

I prefer the o\r h-pipe :Word:

 

[silverstangman]

o/r h is deep and great sounding o/r x is a little less throaty sounding but still sounds good. also x pipe frees up a lil more power. but i'm running the shorty o/r h and i love it.

and tilt ive got some 3.55 gears i will sell u if u are interested in perfect shape.

 

[tilt827]

Thanks alot for the info. After I pulled my head out, I done a search and found many threads on this topic. Did not mean to start the same stuff over. Thanks anyway.

 

[nmcgrawj]

also x pipe frees up a lil more power.

Not true. Put up some facts or where u got this info that isnt heavily influenced by the same companies that make the parts themselves. George Klass who is head of the exhaust department at accufab has done a lot of testing with h vs x's...and x's do NOT show to make more power.

 

[silverstangman]

from what ive seen they seem to make a very little difference in power top-end wise. i mean like 1-2 hp at max

I use the mac pro chamber very cool sound with 2 chamber flowmasters and dumps and shortie headers

LT's, prochamber and chambered muffs is sick. I have a full 3 inch set up but haven't started it yet.

" They" say that the H-Pipe gives you a bit more torque compared to the X-Pipe and the X a bit more hp over the H. Something not important like 3hp or 3pds/Tq. But I like the sound of the H-Pipe better.

pro chamber

Someone here has an exhaust website setup that is really good.

You should do a search for it. Something like "exhaust website" should get you there.

H pipe is throaty and the X is raspy IMO.

I have a question...How do yah pass inspection with O/R stuff?

I got the Cat back flowmasters I think 2 chamber, and I pass inspection just fine. I do want headers and a O/R H pipe, but that would do me in with inspection right?

I'm gonna slap on some FFRP 3.73 gears and if I can work around the inspection, get the Mac shortie headers with an o/r H pipe this spring.

another vote for prochamber

bbk shortie headers, 2.5" prochamber, 2.5" flowmaster CB



sounds so mean, esp with a cam
