Default Which X or H pipe to buy?

If I was going to buy a prefabbed X or H pipe to use in my exhaust which would you guys recommend?

Thanks

From what I'm reading, I'll have to have one custom made for me because I've got the UMI Tunnel mounted torque arm and prefabbed X's won't fit.

I believe thats correct. My brother has a tunnel mount torque arm and he's getting a custom H-pipe setup so it will clear it.

Well I'm torn on what exhaust setup to run as you can see from my other post in this section, I guess I'll just have them price one out for me and see what I want to do.

Thanks

Considering the TA you have i would say the H would be cheaper to fab up, and i don't think the X will work.

both will work but i'd suggest a h since the tone is deeper than a x pipe

Well i was checking out the pictures on the UMI website, and the tunnel mounted set-up looks like it only works with a factory style exhaust with an I pipe. I think for an X or even an H to make it past the tunnel mount you would have to fab it to hang to low in my opinion. You can always give UMI a call, but im sure they might say the same thing.
