i just got a 93 LX 5.0.. and the guy is giving me a offroad H-pipe for it too... is it just as good to put on a a X-pipe is?? i mean its free. so i just wondered if i should spend the money to get a X-pipe or is it not worth it??
 
I just changed my MAC o/r H for a UPR o/r X and I am much happier with the X pipe. Sounds great with my Dynomax super turbos, and I know most will flame me for this but it seems quicker using the Butt Dyno. To be fair though, the reason I ditched the H was because it was leaking bad and I have heard that an exhaust leak can effect performance. The other difference is exhaust note. The H will have a deeper rumble, the X is a little more quite and has a higher pitched raspy sound at full throttle.
 
If you're getting the h-pipe for free just stick with that. The x might net you 1 or 2 more horsepower up top but I think it loses a few lb/ft down low. Not really anything to worry about. Just take the hpipe and be glad you go a freeby...

I went with the X pipe, but then again I didn't get an H pipe for free either. :rlaugh:
