Default H pipe vs X pipe

I've got pacesetters and ORY going on soon behind a TR220 w/75 shot. I was wondering what the pors/cons were between X pipe and H pipe setups. Thanks.

Seems like X is the rage (apparently has better scavenging qualities).

X pipe will get you more power.

Hot Rod Mag did a comparison between open headers, seperated duals, H pipe and X pipe. The x pipe made nearly as much HP as open headers and (if I remember right) a little more torque.

This article was probably 3 years ago, might want to try and find it, pretty interesting.

True, I was just going to say, that ORY isn't going to do you much good with a X or H!

So are you going to go with the X and true duals then?
