Default X-Pipe and H-Pipe

I have a MTI X-pipe and the factory H-pipe back behind the x, has anyone ever seen this? I was wandering if this is costing me any power?

Nice to see you are from West Texas same here. I think you should go with one or the other.

I am not sure if you are losing power but, it would make sense. The whole idea with either one is to equalize the pressure. If you have two objects trying to do the same thing they might be causing a neutralizing effect. Jmho of course

It wouldn't neutralize, it would make it extra equal

I would def ditch one of then, it seems to me the exhaust has to go through too much crap. If you want sound keep the H and if you want PH keep the X
