X-pipe vs H-pipe

[sfi3400]

I have heard that H pipes give more torque but the X pipe is better for horse power and breathing?

does any1 here have them and if you do what improvements did it make?

First of all, neither one "gives" torque, they allow more torque and horsepower. A correctly designed x-pipe should breath better than an H-pipe.

I did have one case where an H-pipe added an irritating resonance inside the car, over the straight dual exhaust.

I'm lost as to what each is...but then again, I'm drunk right now so that could be thec ase as well.

I'd use the O pipe. ;)

what each is? lol one looks like a X and one looks like a H. X pipe flows better, only reason to be doing H pipe is taking the cheap way doing your exhaust. Neither actually gives you more power or torque, just allows more flow and equalizes the pressures b/t the two pipes on a true dual system. Technically you are supposed to have some kind of a cross over on every true dual system.

Here you go... gives maximum flow!

Both will equalize backpressure better than true duals, but the "X" pipe allows much better flow
