1 chambers might be a bit much. Do you do a lot of freeway driving? If you drive on long trips 1 chambers may be too much.

From vid clips I've heard of the prochamber I think the H is a little louder.

I'm trying to work on some sound clips guys. I had National Guard drill this weekend and it's raining today. I'll try to get some by the end of the week.

heard the H-pipe has a "deeper" sound.... and sometimes X-pipe can sound raspy, like glasspacks or something....

The H-pipe actually has the sound I was really looking for. I thought it would be a raspy sound I wanted but the H gave me the exact sound I craved.

Does anyone else in here have to deal with e-check? I am just curious. What do you guys do to pass? Once a year I have to put on the old stock set up.

Congrats. When I did mine it took nearly 3 hours, and I fractured a knuckle doing it! lol, I was tightening down a bolt and slipped off and slammed my knuckle into part of the undercarriage where two folds meet. It hurt like sheol for 3 months after. lol, oh well, it was worth it.

No e-check for me.

Also, I slammed my fingers into the transmission and punched the botto of the car when tightening the rear H-pipe bolts. Stupid thing slipped off and my fist went right into the bottom.

I may get an X pipe later just to compare. See which I like and then sell whatever I don't want. I might even keep em both
