What kind of car do you have.
Most use X- pipes for the F-body cars. Try some of the sponsors

H pipes are not rocket science, it just connects one side of the dual exhaust to the other side. If you have dual 3 inch pipes, decide how big you want the crossover to be, 2.5 or 3" (2.5 will provide more clearance) then get a section of exhaust tubing with enough length to connect one side or the other. Buy from wherever is cheapest and then use a pipe notcher (3" hole saw and something to hold it and the pipe steady) to notch the ends, Use a holesaw (matched to crossover pipe diameter) in the main exhaust pipes, bend the crossover if needed and weld it all together. No "brand" kit is any better than another, they're all going to require cutting, bending and welding.
