Ok fellas, I want to hear your opinions on this much debated topic. Most of you with slightly older exhaust mods are running H-pipes-so, of course, you may be biased. The same goes for those of you who have newer mods and might have an X-pipe. Has anyone gone from an H to an X that can say if there was any performance gain from the different design? Anyone know someone who has? I'm looking to add headers and the intermediate pipe to complement my Flowmaster cat-back, and need some advice-is the X worth the extra expense (lots of X's in that question, eh?)Also, short tube vs. long tube...same question. I know that long tubes will provide more top end charge at the cost of lesser low end grunt than the shorties, but I will be adding gears (probably 4.10's) in the near future to compensate for any low end loss anyway. Still, the question remains the same. Thanks all.
