Mid-pipe comparison....make sure i understand correctly.....

[nmcgrawj]

H-pipes are the classic, loud mustang sound while x-pipes are high pitched and more of a nascar sound and still loud while prochambers are the less quiet of the two but are supposed to give you the most power? And prochambers sound like a mixture of a x and h pipe?

Let me know if this is right.

Thanks

That's basically how I understand it to be.

That being said, I'd go with the H-pipe just for the sound. I guess it's your decision which sound you like and whether or not you want to sacrifice HP for that sound.

its not sacraficing much

H pipe makes alot of noise right off idle and will have more drone depending on the setup. My X pipe is quite under 3K (relatively speaking) unless you are @ WOT.

I'm planning to get Cutouts before the X pipe so I can have the best of both.

I personally feel the x-pipe sounds the best. It absolutely screams in the last half of the rpm scale and sounds "dirty" in the lower half to my ears. I think the higher pitched characteristics of it would highlight a lopy idle better as well. Anyone with a nasty cam can chime in. Of the three, I feel the pro-chamber is the mildest and least aggressive sounding.

Had the H and hated it...backfiring, popping on winding it down...and it was loud...
swapped to the Prochamber with LTs and Spintechs...i love it...BUT...i'm really thinking of grabbing an Dr Gas X set-up to try...
Anybody got an X that will bolt up to Mac LTs???

I got stock headers,pro-chamber, and borla XR-1's turndown. I had the flowtech H-pipe it stunk bad. The pro-chamber is mean but the borlas kill the sound unless over 3k @ WOT, then the deep mean growl is ahhhh so nice. Would rather get bassani LT's and X. O.T. which Spintechs are you running I herd they mean.

Sportsmans.....the quieter of the two....Prostreets being the other...

The x-pipe is best for stock motors,(with cats)and it is the quietest!! The pro chamber is loud dude

 

[nmcgrawj]

So you got the sportsmans? I might be getting the same setup....how does it compare to this h-pipe with sportsmans?

Im lost on which to buy. That guy is telling me to get a h-pipe like him, others say x-pipe, and im thinking prochamber for the inbetween sound. The one thing i do know is that i want it to scream when at WOT.

I wish someone had a clip of the sportsmans with a x-pipe and a prochamber....lol but that would be a perfect world.

Really?! Well whatever i get, it wont have cats! Thats for sure. I thought the prochamber was the "tamer" of the 3. Does the prochamber scream at WOT like people say x-pipes do?

 

[donjohn]

ahh, u damn people who don't need cats

btw, the cats are on the midpipe right? i can't remember what it looks like down there at the moment

 

[nmcgrawj]

Yea they are on the midpipes

 

[wytstang]

I've read the same thing on here that the pro-chamber was the quietest but made the most hp through out the power range.

An X makes the car sound very refined. H pipes give the car a old school muscle sound. Just depends on what you like. My Borlas and Bassani X-pipe sound great I think. Its loud but not too loud. It has a very deep roar at WOT.

I hate prochambers...want one? hehe o/r for lt's. Pm
My o/r h has a much better seat of the pants feel and i just like the way they sound better. I wouldnt buy my prochamber again even though they do tend to make more power on dynos. I dunno i'd rather have my car sound good and feel good than be good. Call me a ricer

i bet it's like you hear it and if sounds great so it feels better cuz the sound get's your adrenaline pumping. OK i dunno, i just find it strange how you don't like the prochamber, that's weird cuz ur the first one i've heard who didn't give it thumbs up

It just didnt have the "growl" i was looking for. I thought it sounded hollow and "punny" sounding. I had my parents get it for me for christmas a few years ago because i read so many great things about it in magizines/stangnet/corral, but i just didnt like it. Even if the numbers are good.

Did it sound like most x-pipes? You are the first to turn down the prochamber. How did it fit atleast?

 

[nmcgrawj]

Did yours sound anything close to this?
