Nahhh...no controversy..its purddy simple and I think anyone will agree..
H-pipe - has a deeper tone.to some a more preferable (including myself)
X-pipe - has a raspy as sound,but offers a bit more hp gains..

Jees, the H is deeper, listen on you Tube and judge for yourself.

If you go from a stock H pipe to a X pipe you will lose HP. H pipes give better horsepower but X pipes sound wayyyyyyy deeper. So sound X, HP -H

Always heard that maybe lose a little low end power but make way more in the high end, and that's due to losing a little back pressure. However the xpipe offers higher flow rates. While this is still a controversial topic, I'm pretty sure What I said has been proven by now.

| Switching from a stock H to a X will lose HP. It's been dyno proven.

| Well I am on the v6 forum lol. Maybe for you guys it does, but on our 11+ GT's it adds a not insignificant amount... This isn't the first time I've found myself on another forum section giving bad info lol. Maybe I should stick to my area haha

| You've got it completely backwards. H-pipe is deeper sound with low-end torque gains and x-pipe is raspier rev sound with top-end horsepower gains

| It don't matter what motor your running!.. The flow characteristics of exhaust are pretty universal!..

| Both the H and X Pipes will give you about the same HP gains!.. It's just one is a little more down lower in the RPM range than the other!.. Now in your High HP applications the X Pipe will show a bit more gains but not by much!..

| Again it's based on opinion. Ive heard 2 of the exact same cars (07 4.0 v6s) and the X pipe one sounded deeper than the H pipe.

When it comes down to it, the exhaust note is based on opinion.

| The only opinion available is whether you like the sound or not. You can't be of the "opinion" that one is deeper than the other. It either has a deeper note or it doesn't.

| Well that's the thing. People say the H is deeper but I think the X is deeper. It's opinion.

| +11 the H pipe will give you a deeper tone!.. A buddy of mine has the exact same exhaust setup as me, minus the fact that his is an O/R H-pipe vs my O/R X-pipe!.. We both have CherryBomb Vortex Cat Backs with stock exhaust manifolds!.. His does have a slightly deeper tone but not by much!..
As far as which one sounds better!.. It just depends on the individual!..  | |

When I hear them in person I honestly can't tell the difference but whenever I look at clips online I think the H always seems to sound deeper.
Personally I have an X and I like it so whatever it's all personal opinion lol.
