Has anyone seen a x/h-pipe comparison test?

Has anyone seen a comparison test of x/h -pipes with cats? Or, just give me your opinion of the best x/h-pipes out there. I see a lot of guys using the Bassani x-pipe. Thanks.

Well,
The X-pipe seems to be all the rage these days, and I have yet to see someone who has been dis-satisfied with one.
I myself will be in the market for an x/h pipe later this year (2000, when my 5.0 rebuild is complete). So needless to say I will have to save the cash back up...;-)

Point I'm trying to get at is that while the X-pipe seems to be a great addition, its price can be quite a lot more than a similiar after-market H-pipe..... and I have yet to see any real side by side stats on just how much more effective they are compared to say.. oh... a MAC H-pipe with Hi-flow cats...

Does anyone have any stats like that?

My local race shop (B&D Racing)claims that the X is good for about a tenth of a second over the H in the 1\4. They tried it on a 5.0 though, not a 4.6 - for what it's worth, I have an X from Bassani & love it - I suggest 3 chamber Flow Masters - I have 2 chambers and my fillings are getting loose! Sounds great though - I can't even hear those annoying ricers that are buzzing around town (behind Mustangs!) Good Luck!!
