Default Gto h, x, straight?

Hey ive got a 2004 gto
Long tube headers, high flow cats, magnaflow x pipe, custom race mufflers.

My car isn't as loud as i want it to be, i would like it to be loud raspy and mean.
which would be louder an H pipe or take out the x and put in straight pipes???
Thanks!

i think the exhaust and engine performance will benefit better from an X pipe since when the exhaust merges its a smoother transition and no 90 degree angles. exhaust is a science man. fluid dynamics and all that jazz

From all the threads I've read on here, X is for performance and H is for sound. I think you'll be happy with any one of the above options though. I went with straight pipes and even though I wish I would've tried the H pipe, I am MORE than happy with my setup.

Get rid of cats if you can. Stay with X-Pipe.
