I think the X is good for a little more torque but slight loss in hp and the sound is raspier (spelling) with an X. I am starting to thing about an X over an H just to have a dirrerent sound than everyone else around my area.

cmon man...even you should know the answer to this one. There is a new thread on it every week. They will put out the same power (no difference you can tell anyways) and the xpipe will have more of a rasp to it.

there was a sound clip on here not long ago with an o/r X and it was raspy I can't remember what mufflers he was running. I like the sound of a o/r X

H pipe is a nice deep sound (IMO a lot better) i have owned both.
X pipe is a more high pitch, not a fan, but it screams a little better when up in the R's

i had a x and h pipe on my 93, the o/r h with flows sounds bad ass. the o/r x with flows sound like crap, i hated the way it sounded, no real power difference felt.

I couldn't agree more lol , though i do like the way it sounds at idle. I'll be putting some new mufflers on it as soon as the funds are available.
