That would be the Xpipe. I have a catted Magnaflow xpipe on mine, that is about to be swapped out for an off road pipe in about a month when I install a set of long tube headers. Go with the x pipe. Check local laws to see if an off road setup is permitted, if so I would go with that. Just my .02. Good luck with whatever you choose.

Just to clarify, this is not a local law but I think federal, cats are required on any car manufactured after 1974.

I personally like the sound of H pipes myself over the X. It's a personal opinion thing...is there a way you could hear both in person; i.e. know any other 'stangers who have aftermarket exhausts?

A lot of people will swear that the H pipe sounds better than the X pipe. However to me it's not a drastic change in sound but I prefer the X pipe over the H pipe performance wise.... it's what I have
