x-pipe or h-pipe

bigtom · February 9th, 2010, 01:54 PM

i have a catted x-pipe on my mach right now i want to go with an uncatted pipe but dont know if i should go x or h..

topless281 · February 9th, 2010, 02:02 PM

I am pretty sure that you have to keep an x-pipe, you can get an O/R one though. H-pipes are for the guys with long tube headers. Someone correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure thats the way it is.

Montanasvt · February 9th, 2010, 02:06 PM

im pretty sure he can get an H-pipe, but the X-pipe sounds better IMO

M.P. Cobra Fan · February 9th, 2010, 02:24 PM

You can get either. Prochamber sounds the best though. lol

No cats will make it louder though.

X or H has nothing to do w/ what headers you have

OP, what mid pipe you have should be determined by what mufflers you're running. Simple rule w/ mid pipes:
H pipe = chambered mufflers
X pipe = straight through mufflers

opps lol, notes taken. I always saw shorty H pipes and assumed that. Guess I learned something new today.

cobraetti · February 9th, 2010, 08:30 PM

all depends on sound, mach guys tend to like the h-pipes I guess

fastgtfairlane · February 10th, 2010, 12:08 AM

I heard a 99 cobra with bbk longtubes, DR GAS O/R X Pipe and Spintech prostreet mufflers and it was the best sounding mustang ive ever heard especially 4v.

nope they are not, they are still straight tru mufflers with a lil bit of fiberglass inside tha muffler

89StangGT · February 13th, 2010, 10:18 AM

I have never heard a good sound H pipe setup on a 4v. X pipes just sound a lot better. Anyone have any Prochamber videos? I've thought about switching it up.

flow 40s or mac cb with o/r H

or

catted x with borla stingers

id be safe and use cats idk what the laws are where you are but in NJ its $1000 for every cat missing and O/R pipes show little to no gains over cats.

looking to trade my off road mac h pipe for a catted x or h, i live in cali lucky me

M.P. Cobra Fan · February 15th, 2010, 11:49 AM

Someone should try both! Buy and x pipe and then after put an H style crossover tube.

I kid I kid.

Or do I?

Oh and to the above poster who wanted videos of Prochambers, I hate to sound like a smart ass, and I am not trying to, but YouTube has a TON of them. That is how I decided on my Prochamber. I have a couple fo videos of mine on youtube, but youtube don't work for crap here on my work computer always locks it up. Sorry.

89StangGT · February 15th, 2010, 01:33 PM

I searched "mac prochamber cobra" on youtube and found like 3 videos that were actually decent enough quality to understand what it sounds like.

What catback do you have? I'm thinking about changing to a Prochamber and MAC catback.

M.P. Cobra Fan · February 15th, 2010, 01:38 PM

I have an American Thunder by Flowmaster. I will try to get better video of mine up soon. I have been failing at that lately. lol.

BayAreaCobra77 · February 16th, 2010, 12:08 AM

i just installed my longtube ARH headers, with a high flow 3" catted X-pipe, and i am so impressed, i almost went for kooks but im glad i didnt.

but yeah doesnt matter if you have longtubes or not, i went from the H to the X and im very happy, i dynoed 36 hp over stock goin to the L/T's and new high flow midpipe, i couldnt believe it.

i can hardly tell it has catts, so you might want to consider a nice high-flow pipe instead of an O/R
