Which is better X or H?
For the new 5.0 Which one is better? Is one better then other for performace? But what I really want to know is which sounds better? I had a H on a 94 GT 347 w/ Kenne bell and switched to H and think I lot some loudness and rumble. Thanx

Sound is personal preference really.. Youtube is your friend
Performance wise, the X will make more power, but its very minimal. By that i mean 5 hp give or take a little

X-pipe gives you more top wnd hp but some tourqe loss. Also a raspier sound. H-pipes give slightly more tourqe by managung backpressure and exhaust flow and gives you that deeper burbly sound much like old school muscle cars. The difference in power isnt vast but is noticeable once the revs start climbing. IMO it really just comes down to personnal preferance as the biggest difference between the two is sound. Are you tryin for a racier sound or a deep rumble muscle car sound?

There are a few comparisons around. Off of another site they did a same day comparison of the lethal o/r x pipe vs. o/r h pipe. The peak difference was only 3hp and 4.6lb of torque in favor of the x. Runs were made with a tune as well as both stock intake and Airraid intake. Not going to link another site off of here but can easily be found by Google searching 2011 mustang gt x pipe vs h pipe.

My wife recently described the difference as the H pipe I tried first sounded mean, the X pipe I liked and is still on my car as mean with a healthy measure of nasty thrown in! I think that sums it up well.
