offroad H or X pipe??
I've already got a Mac offroad H pipe, sounds great, makes good power. I got it off my buddy for 50 bucks, I found a Mac offroad X pipe for real cheap. I'd like to get the X if its worth the money, I've heard they rattle from a few people. How do they sound compaired to the offroad H? do they produce much more HP/torque? thanks

An X-pipe should produce slightly less torque, but more horsepower. They also have a more "racey" sound compared to a "muscle" sound, IMO.
Either way, you're not looking at big improvements. |

I've always thought and been told on here several times the H made more horse and the X made more torque....

Either way your not talking any real major differences. And the differences depend on your setup. The X pipes have a more Raspy sound, I had to ditch mine cause it was to annoying with the top down. If you can get the X get it. Try em both and sell the other.
