oops typo, i mean switch to H pipe
i have heard a couple stangs with h pipes and i am liking it, sounds real beefy. currently i am running a bassani x with compcats, and flowmaster axlebacks. i am going to be putting in longtubes, and was going to do a highflow catted xpipe with the flows. now i am thinking of doing a highflow catted h pipe with flows. i do not mind the drone on the setup i have at all. if i go with the H will i have major drone? which am i better off going with? i dont mind losing the few HP if i run the H pipe, but i dont want to have the car rattling apart from the drone.

I dont know about the drone. Im sure there will be more with an H pipe, how much is the question. I have read on various forums that an H pipe will give you a lower, "beefier" tone. Just what I have read though.

x will give more flow, but more rasp, h will give deeper tone, but you may get some trumpeting if its catless. as far as drone, usually thats in the mufflers, the mid pipe will only enhance if depending on the style. im gonna assume that the h will make it more noticable. but if your getting longtubes also, well its gonna be loud regardless, so who cares right!

You already have an h-pipe from the factory. I think x-pipes sound like crap.
