Actually, they did a test on 5.0 Mustang and the H made more power and torque everywhere. I'll try to find the article. The difference is negligible. You won't feel it on the butt-meter and you won't see an advantage at the track all other things being equal. Pick on sound alone. I like the deeper note!

^ yea you should find that cause i have personally never witnessed an h-pipe add more power than an x-pipe. Anyone with a sensible mind can see how much better an x-pipe will flow. You think its easier for gas to curve or make a 90 degree turn backed by another 90 degree turn?

go H or X. Just make sure you connect them somehow, single pipe on each side with no connection is really only good for race cars.

dude you're over-analysing it. go to ls1sounds.com listen to the dual systems with X and H pipe and pick one. You are not gonna find a worthwhile difference in power between the two. Trust me, i did this research a few years ago before I got duals.

Ya i know that is what i have come to believe i will probably go with the h-pipe for sound quality (in my opinion) and because it is cheaper too.
