Opinions on x-pipes
Just curious as to what you guys think about x-pipes? I just found a used one at a good price that I might pick up to replace my h-pipe that has a massive leak. My original plan was to go with longtubes, but I am in the process of moving so my funds are now tapped as of now. So give me your thoughts!

Re: Opinions on x-pipes
They say X-pipes make more power than H pipes. I personally dont like the sound of X-pipes, well most. I like how Dr.Gas and UPR sounds with flowmasters. Personally Id get a Prochamber, makes more power than both and sounds better. Ill be getting it when I install my Longtubes. If not then I may get a Tru Bendz or VRS X-pipe.

Re: Opinions on x-pipes
I got an Xpipe on my stang and I personally like it... if you say they don't sound as good as H pipes but they flow more air then why would you sacrifice power for a better sound... which isn't even all that noticeable really.
No one is going to listen to your exhaust and say "I don't like it... you must have an x-pipe" so, yea I like my x pipe |

Re: Opinions on x-pipes
h pipes-more sound
x pipes-more top end power due to the way it flows |

I say wait for money and buy longtubes with a longtube x-pipe. I bought a rx-7 two weeks ago and I didn't buy it for the sound. The only time it really sounds good is at 8K.

I really like my Bassani (may be spelled different) X Pipes. They flow very well and sound great with my Flowmaster Catbacks.

Re: Opinions on x-pipes
I just unbolted mine after the stock h-pipe and it sounds sweet, and revs slightly better. I think Borla sounds the best though.

Re: Opinions on x-pipes
Well Craig, I've only heard them on 4.6's and I really like the way they sound. I can actually tell the (sound) difference between it and an H-pipe on the 4.6 Mustangs. I think it sounds a little more raspy and yes it does sound good with flowmasters. And also the power difference betwen the 2 is minimal.
