Is this a good idea or a bad one?

Does anyone run an X-pipe on their car, what have you found different about it verses an H-pipe, and did you buy it or have some one weld it, on or can that be done. How much did it cost you and is it worth it.

All the mags say that an X-pipe will net you a few more hp but I'm very happy with my MAC Prochamber. I don't think it really makes much of a difference.

The Xpipe will get you 3-4 more HP over the Hpipe.....if you use high flow mufflers and not a chambered muffler. If you use a chambered muffler, the Xpipe will actually lose HP.
