lol..... Anyways, X pipe is the way I want to go and it seems THIS system might be the one I wait for. I love the sound of the H but an X system can sound as good if done right. I love the way a stainless steel system sounds.

I did see a comparison of the two some time back. The H did make a little more through the curve and was about the same, maybe 1-2hp/tq lower in the very high end (like 5-6k I think). I'll see if I can dig it up.

i voted h as well. like previously said nobody really offers a orh setup. and the h pipe seems to give a deeper sound as well compared to the x.

Any Idea when it will be out? I have your headers and these are great quality! Would like to know because I plan on getting a true dual setup soon.

I havent voted because I will take either.

I enjoy the sound of an H over X pipe. I've had 6 vehicles with true dual exhaust and 5 had an H. The sound is deeper and I've felt no loss of torque with the H. Just butt dyno though...

Make an X pipe and see if you can get it to tuck higher than the TSP

I have run a H on all my vehicles and really enjoy the sound. It would be nice to finally have that as a option. If you do produce the H it would also be nice to have a catted version for people that would still like to remain state emissions legal and have a sweet exhaust. I suspect you could make it universal to run no cats and you could add in a resonator or even electric cut out.If you take it a step further in R&D i would consider compatability with current popular header combinations such as ahr,kooks,qtp,pacesetters etc.... The more options you have and more universal the product its more likely to sell.

MAC'S EXHAUST SYSTEMS are developing a true / dual over the axle set-up useing the much beloved H-pipe system for F-bodies with their killer sounding mufflers . Pricing around $1000.00 plus installation . Not stainless though .
