There will be very little difference in hp between the h or the x, The H is typically just a little louder.

Save your money until you get some Long tube headers, then have the TD's put on. The stock manifolds and cats will be limiting whatever exhaust you put after them.

****.... I would If I could, but since I live out here in Cali,
I gotta follow emissions concerning headers and cats.
People on here recommended me to stay with the manifolds and cats so I wont get in trouble with the law, or have to through the hassle in removing and installing the headers again every 2 years.

Move away from that state, then run long tubes and then the x pipe.

DMH e-cutouts.
Custom over-axle duals by Rick Rudd (Denver, CO). 3" except over the Moser 9"...which had to be taken down to 2.5" to clear.
Magnaflow 5x8's under the rear bumper.

Video was with them capped.

It is MUCH louder with them open, but my video camera doesn't really pick it up.
This is with them open...

Sounds great. Did you use a panhard relocation setup to clear them going over the axle?

Didn't need to...although I am sure it would have helped.

does it matter how long the join of the 2 pipes is? like could i have twin 2.5" off each header, then join into a 3" or 3.5" for like half a meter where it is tight and then put it back out to twin 2.5"? if you get what i mean

Yeah am working on getting a good sound clip of a walk around and of driving. The weather has been real crappy here lately so when the weather breaks a little will definately post some vids. Thanks for the compliments. The whole polished stainless is what sold me but the fitment is just another plus. Oh and the price.

Haven't gotten any real seat time yet. But the little I drove yesterday it still feels pretty good down low. Couldn't get in it much, pulled the excitor wire out of the alt. and had to turn around and get it back home. Hopefully the weather breaks soon so I can get a chance to see how she does.
