X for more aggressive which also produces more torque and is the more common one.... H-pipe will sound better though but you will lose some down low only compared to the X

well if ur goin w/ the 1 chambers for sound, you might as well go get the ultimate sound w/ the H, if you need all the power you can get, X + dynomax bullet, but do what you want, dont ask us ur the one driving it......

I have an H, a local guy I know has the same setup with an X. Sound is pretty close....we both agree mine is slightly deeper and has a little more bark to it.
