Our motors prefer an Xpipe.. The H-pipe slows down the motors rev speed...

There is a very big difference in terms of acceleration between the 2 cross-overs on our motor..

I say you go with an XPIPE if you like fast take-offs...

Just stick with the h-pipe. The difference in HP is 2-3 at best.

If you have all of the items you mention it will work.

This will show you how to remove the V6 exhaust system and install the GT exhuaust system you bought.

Go with the H Pipe. I've had it for over a year and there really isn't a noticeable difference between the H Pipe and the X Pipe. Most of my friends have gone this route. FYI - the GT uses an H pipe and I have seen posts from guys who have used this setup, but a good Muffler shop could easily fabricate it for you.

No it won't harm a thing, you might want to keep your windows down so the carbon monoxide doesn't build up inside your car though.

LEO_06GT has no clue of whats best for a SOHC 4.0.. He has absolutley no experience with either the H or the X in relation to the SOHC 4.0.. I have tried both and spoke from experience..

Amazing how people take bad advice over good.. LOL!

Oh well, I hope it turns out well.. Dont be confused when you get a dyno and it seems like it takes forever for the car to tach out 4th gear...

The statement really was not meant to infer anything negetive towards you LEO_06GT.. Dont take it personal man..

On this particular issue unless you have tried both back to back you would be hard pressed to distinguish the difference...

I discovered this oddity because I had on the XPIPE, but wanted to try out an HPIPE to possibly improve the tone of the car above 5000RPM.. So I had the X swapped for an H...

When the work was done and I revved the car I knew instantly that my motor seemed to rev up slower so I took the car for a drive and "BAM" it felt horrible.. I swapped them back out and lost $150 bucks, but gained some knowledge and experience to share with others...

The info I gave was worth $150 bucks...
