Sound Advice for X/H o/r pipe

[MATRIX4.6]

I have the FRPP stinger style axelback system and will be purchasing more exhuast components either an O/R H or X pipe from PYPES performance. I know they make both but if I plan to also do the BBK tuned shorty headers which style should I go with H or X for sound quality?

well the H will give you that deep old school muscle car sound. while the X will give you a raspy-poppy new age v8 sound sort of like the terminators. I prefer the X...

X Pipe = Race Car sound
H Pipe = Old School raw muscle

Both sound amazing, just depends what you want. I love the sound of X pipes but I have an H pipe and I love it too.

I like the H. It will give you more of a low bottom tone. Caution: O/R pipe will be loud as hell.

If you get Off-road pipe of any kind you'll need to get a chambered muffler if you don't like loud. If you like loud you will be fine with a straight through type muffler (SLP/Pypes Violator).

I have an O/R H and Pypes Violator Axle Backs and absolutely LOVE it. I'll get vid up soon (hopefully tomorrow).

I don't know about the "race car" description of the X, but I will tell you that having both that the X seems to make the exhaust sound high pitched.

Under normal driving with the H you would tend to notice it being loudest at 2200-2400 where as with the X it will be up in the 2800-3000 range.

For the Price of either, you really could not go wrong even if you had to replace it.

I went with a Ford Racing X-pipe and have no complaints.
