X-pipe vs H-pipe

Which would yall recommend for the best sound and fit under the car? How bad are the clearance issues with both?

Think I may just keep the Y-pipe on it since so many seem to have clearance issues if they go duals. My engine is mostly stock so I wouldnt gain much from changing it.

I always liked the sound of the X pipe over the H pipe. It's less poppy and more of a steady tone. In terms of performance the X pipe holds an advantage over the H pipe.

You be the judge yourself. It's a mustang comparison between X and H but you get the general idea of the change in sound. It's pretty noticable that the X pipe smooths the tone out.

There are a couple of people on here who have run true duels without much, if any, ground clearance issues. But it requires a lot of thought and time and wouldn't be an ideal route to pipe it if your car is lowered or are worried about hard transitions on pavement.

It would be nice if this stuff was cheap and readily available.

I am not sure how long the car is to the ground as if its been lowered or not. I am not the original owner so I dont know what all was done prior to me. I do know however if I go over the speed bump in front of my house with anyone other than me in the car the cut out scraps it. So I would assume that duals would hang a bit lower.

Thanks for the link to the oval pipping site. Ill look into that when Im not so busy at work and with the kids
