Just looking for some opinions. I've got an '08 Mustang GT with a JLT CAI, FRPP Hot Rod Cams, Flowmaster 40 series and am trying to decide whether to get an X or off road H-pipe. I want great sound and some of the sound clips I've heard with the x-pipes are almost too "dirty" of a sound? What's everyone think?

X pipes sound great with strait thru mufflers.
H pipes sound best with chambered mufflers.

Being that the 40 series are chambered I was leaning more towards the h-pipe but not sure, hence the thread!

from what i've gathered...

X pipe = higher pitched sound with more performance

H pipe = deeper bellow like old fox 5.0, with few less hp

I have magnapack 3" catback ready to install, and leaving the old H catless H pipe that's already on there. Gonna sound mean.

i will be taking the route of running straight pipes from the cat back at the beginning. If the drone isn't too bad it will stay that way, but if it is I'll end up throwing some magnaflows on it.

I'm thinking I'm gonna go with the O/R H-pipe. I like that deeper sound with these motors. Just trying to figure it out! Decisions decisions. I've got some time though, I gotta get it ready for Hot Rod PowerTour 2012. My dad is thinking about getting an X on his 06 so it's become a comp now!
