My... My... The Tradeoffs

I am unsure to the sound difference between the two. I went with an X pipe, because I got the mufflers and tails off my friend for $100 (he wrekced his old car), and I got the X welded and installed all for $125. However, your reverse Y pipe isnt going to make you lose but maybe 3-4 HP, compared to an H. Also, that won't void your warranty like geting your pipes cut will. I reccomend MAC...I have mine and I LOVE their sound. They actually make my car louder than a stock GT. And all I've done is a new intake and the exhaust.

Some cons about doing the reverse Y are going to be you can't say you have a real preformance midpipe.....and you will loose maybe 3-5 HP from doing reverse Y vs H or X. You could always go with the S, M, Q, T, um....I, and the new A pipe, though. LOL. (still referring to that idiot mechanic in a previous thread. If you haven't read it...all those are jokes. Don't take it seriously). You will save money (obviously) on the reverse Y setup, you will save your warranty (if there is any) because you can re-do your stock exhaust easily if ford has any problems with it.

I'll get a sound clip sometime....my room mate says mine sounds like his competition jet boat. lol.

I have the Flowmaster reverse Y-pipe setup. I like it, because it is a easy bolt on, and does sound very nice. But I would not do it again. I bought it before I knew that you could get the Y-pipe cut, and so thought that this was the only way to get dual exhaust. If I was you I would wait to get more money, and go true dual. If you do remove one of your cats, it should sound better. As far as power, there is no huge difference, but I think I would just feel better knowing I have a true dual setup.
