More or less sound is the difference. I think the x pipe get like 3 more horsepower than an h if that. H pipe is more if you want that old school muscle car sound and x pipe is more for a raspy sound. I have an off road Magnaflow x pipe and I love it. Here's mine! http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_A_ulVUZ7t0

+11 if your more about overall performance and less about sound!.. But with the right setup an O/R X-pipe can sound nice and throaty too!.. I've got a O/R X-pipe with CherryBomb Vortex cat back on mine and I love it!.. And ya typically an X-pipe will net you about 3hp more over a H-pipe, but that's usually on the top end!..

This post made my brain bleed. Assuming you mean:
I'm going to take the stock pipe with six cats off and want to know what [mid pipe] would be better to but back on?

I would say only replace it with an off road (catless) mid pipe if you can get past emissions without them. An x pipe may net you a little top end horsepower but a H pipe usually yields slightly better low end torque. Neither is a factor large enough when you consider the difference in sound. The H will be a deeper more classic sound and a x will be more aggressive and raspy.

A buddy of mine has the exact same cat back I have!.. Only difference between our two rides is that he has a O/R H-pipe and I have a O/R X-pipe, his is slightly deeper in tone, but you can only tell the difference when both cars are side by side!.. Other than that every one thinks I have an H-pipe!.. It all depends on your set up, and type of mufflers your running!.. I have heard some H-pipe sit-ups that sounded raspy!.. And typically both yeld the exact same HP and torque in the low end, it's just that the X-pipe is more free flowing so that is why you'll see 3hp more over the H on the top end!..
