Default Where can I find H-Pipes?

I can't seem to find h-pipes sold anywhere on the net. Could you guys name some websites that sell some and also name some really good brands thanks

What kind of car do you have.
Most use X- pipes for the F-body cars. Try some of the sponsors

Nothin yet. I just thought h pipes sounded more deep/muscle like than Y or X so I wanted to see how much they run for and how good they are but all the ones i find are for mustangs.

The h-pipe doesn't have to be vehicle specific. The rest of the exhaust will be fabricated around that anyways. You can buy a generic h-pipe and use it in a fabricated true dual setup on your f-body.

Ah alright, well which brand of H pipe would you prefer if you were to get one. Also what sounds more muscle like Y or H?

True duals whether X or H sounds much better than a Y setup.

The y-pipe sound doesn't even begin to compare to a true dual setup w/ x-pipe or h-pipe. The h gives you a deeper old school sound depending on your choice of mufflers.

Sweet, im going to go with true dual Sweet Thunders and a good set of LTs. I just need to figure out what a good pair would be and what size of sweet thunders I need/should get and which brand h-pipe to buy

H pipes are not rocket science, it just connects one side of the dual exhaust to the other side. If you have dual 3 inch pipes, decide how big you want the crossover to be, 2.5 or 3" (2.5 will provide more clearance) then get a section of exhaust tubing with enough length to connect one side or the other. Buy from wherever is cheapest and then use a pipe notcher (3" hole saw and something to hold it and the pipe steady) to notch the ends, Use a holesaw (matched to crossover pipe diameter) in the main exhaust pipes, bend the crossover if needed and weld it all together. No "brand" kit is any better than another, they're all going to require cutting, bending and welding.
