H-pipe or an X-pipe??

[allwhitestang]

hey whassup people. i have a 1998 mustang gt convertible with a k&n intake and delta series flowmasters. i am thinking of getting a BBK off road pipe but i can't decide which one to get. should i get the off road h-pipe or the off road x-pipe?

Always go with an H pipe with flowmasters. X pipes with flows tend to sound like marbles in a tin can.

I disagree. It depends on what type of X pipe you get - If you get a style crossover similar to Dr. Gas (such as Mustangtuning, UPR, or SLP)...it will sound badass with the Flows. I wouldn't recommend the BBK x pipe though - the junction has a different design and some people complain about rasp with it.

Basically, if you get the right type of X pipe with the Flows, you'll be happy. If you get the wrong type, you'll be annoyed by the rasp.

From the research that Ive done I lean towards a H-pipe. A H-pipe tends to give you a little more on the bottom end with higher torque numbers as opposed to a X but the X will flow better on the top end and tend to give you a few more ponies on the high side. As far as sound go's...a X-pipe IMO tends to give you more of a exotic sound and a H-pipe sounds more muscle car like. Just my 2 quarters worth.

I agree with what he said but I lean the other Direction x more flow more HP

A washer in my muffler is the way I used to put it. I would get a Prochamber!

H pipe for me. The MRT with cats. I will not give-up the sound of an H pipe for the X. X sound like a Ferrai, I want the sound of good old american muscle.

H pipe is a great addition to the mustang but i recently put a dr gas x pipe with LT's and i would never go back.
