So the wife decided that she would ask what I wanted for my b-day

I'm trying to decide on x or h O/R pipe. Current set up is GT500 quads.
On the piping on the 13 and 14's are 3in, right and not 2.75? or is it 3 up front down to 2.75 at the muffler?

2.75" piping. it's purely subjective. if you want OR-H just buy cat deletes, it's way cheaper. I hear great stuff about the cat deletes that Jegs sells.

Go with an X if you want a racier, high-pitched sound

Go H if you want a deeper tone. Also, H will make more power in lower rpms vs. the x which makes more in higher rpms.

were talking 5hp gain or less yes?? Go for the X

Exactly what he said. I like the deeper sound of the H pipe and the higher HP and torque in the lower rpm range also.

The newer mustangs are really too high pitched already. The X just adds to the high pitch and raspiness. The H makes a more even and clean deep tone. The hp gain between the two is very minimal. You will be much more satisfied with the H.

I think I'll go with Diva's suggestion. Since the hp is same with both, might as well as keep the h pipe and go with the cat deletes. Saves $$$$. Thanks for the suggestion, Diva.. Honestly didn't even think about that.

Op your car is a v6 based on your profile info??? (I have iPhone so can't see sig)

If you have the coyote, get the borla x. Paired with the full setup, it's aural bliss.

That's the old one. Haven't updated it yet. The new one is a GT. It's sporting the GT500 quads now.

I saw your other posts. I'm hoping to graduate to a SC in the next year. How do you like your Magnuson?

TheDivaDanielle

I think the borla with an H pipe is actually bliss.

Ah ok. I've heard the gt500 quads on a gt in person. It's got a decent tone, but somewhat sublime. At a carshow last month, there was an actual gt500 there, and let's just say the audience (including the owner himself) agreed that my borla setup sounded WAY better than his, and thus he would be upgrading soon. Lol.

In the end, it's subjective. If you like tamer, stick with h.

I love love love love my Maggie setup. Marilyn is an absolute beast right now. Sadly, she is tucked away in hibernation for the winter. Driving her less than a month with that kind of a mod is just to sad.

Stock h or after market h? Or either?

I had the borla s types in axleback form initially, with the stock h. It was nice, but I graduated to the borla x and full catback setup. I love the x setup much more.

But you're right diva, it's all personal preference. No right or wrong answer here.
