Decided to redo my exhaust h pipe or x pipe?

I wouldn't do this. The H-pipe serves a function of balancing the exhaust flow between the left and right banks of the engine. Check it out...

Purpose

• According to MOPAR Muscle Magazine's article on Dodge Challenger exhausts, the H pipe essentially tricks your car's dual exhaust system into thinking it is bigger. The pipe's two-armed structure sends excess pressure from gasses from one arm of the pipe to the other. It does this when there is no exhaust pulse on the second side, which builds up more pressure in the pipe than normal. In an H pipe, engine gasses follow the path of least resistance (straight through each pipe's arm) instead of going 90 degrees through each pipe and into the other half of the dual exhaust system. The H pipe's two-armed system also mimics your engine's cylinder banks and helps balance them, according to Street Directory's website. This is what makes the H pipe an effective part of a dual exhaust system.
