x-pipe or h-pipe ???

[stg3roush]

so i live in florida and i have no emissions and can't decide wether to get x-pipe or an h-pipe. also which one do you guys think will give me the best performance/sound. feel free to post your opinions or sound clips. will i get a code form the ecu if i get catless (x,h) pipe?

You will have to get some mil eliminators for your downstream sensors if you get a catless pipe.

I prefer the deeper sound of the off road H-pipe... give both a listen and decide for yourself!

[redroush2]

first I'm in clermont, nice to see another ROUSH around, and to your exhaust, I have " MRT catted h-pipe" and spintechs side exhaust kit, and it sounds like no other car on the road!!! I love it!! finallay got my car to sound like it should!!!!alsom I did have to take it to a mufflers shop to have the tips welded / lined up . went to a place on obt down towards the fl mall they do great work . if you need more info pm me ill be glad to help

Looks from your SN you have a Stage3. So I would go with the H pipe it will give you better high end TQ vs the X pipe. Before I get bashed on I agree the X pipe sounds better! But again if your looking for the best bang for your buck and looking to get some more HP/TQ then go with the H pipe.

If you have a hand held tuner you can turn the rear O2's off, if not you will have to get some MILL's

i decide to go with the h-pipe. i just wanted facts and opinion from you guys because when i had my 5.0 i had h-pipe and wanted somenthing different but h-pipe is the best choice for me. thanks guys.

[stg3roush]

sorry guys for extending the thread but what brand h-pipe do you guys think has the best proven performance? ( hp/tq)

Dr Gas hands down!

I went with BBK catted H-Pipe (shorty pipe though for my longtubes). I also have Spintechs. My car sounds like the muscle car it should sound like. I had to stick with the H as I'm a diehard 5.0 guru. Paid $400 for the BBK catted H.

Just had to do that and it is worth it though...and not that hard to do nor is it that expensive.

[stg3roush]

i done some research and i will be going with the bbk h- pipe as well and will get the MIL eliminators since is a must if i get a catlessh-pipe. thanks for the input.

here's a great link to all kinds of exhaust combo's

I've always compared the two this way. The H-pipe (ie. MRT) retains what I call the classic Mustang muscle sound. An X-pipe changes the sound to something more exotic. I had a Magnaflow X-pipe and quite honestly I could never quite get used to it. A friend had the MRT H-pipe on his '03 Cobra and that is what I more preferred. Just never got to switch. I guess it's a matter of personal preference. Some like the sound of the X. Others like the sound of the H.

just yesterday i put on a catted Bassani X, and with the magnaflows, it it still a little too quiet, but i get absolutely no drone going down the road. overall, i am happy with it, and does sound pretty mean when you punch the gas, between the exhaust and the sc whine....

[Terminator X]

I put on an Bassani X for about 10 mins and took it right off. Way to raspy for my taste. I'd go with the H and some Spintechs

Nice to see you posting here Bob; my shifter gasket worked out great! How would you compare the Mac Prochamber sound in the above comparison?

[RRROUSH1]

I dont personally like the sound of the x pipe it sounds to " pingy " to me i went with the jegs catless h pipe, have no clearance problems, sounds great, installed easily and was only 149.00 shipped.

Resurrection!
