xpipe ive heard does. Just cause its straight through. I think h pipe is more for sound not saying this is exactly accurate but thats what ive heard. The numbers prob arent that far off maybe a few hp or so. I have a bassani catted xpipe i love it.

From what I've seen/heard/read/experienced, it seems to me that the h is deeper sounding, the x is raspier sounding, and the x picks up a little more in the high rpms.

Hello,

You have some questions on X-pipes and H-pipes. The advantages to a X-pipe or cross over pipe is it scavenges the exhaust gases, the X forces the exhaust pulses to cross each other one pulse helps the next pulse to extract faster, this creates a vacuum at the bottom of the X and helps extract the exhaust gases. They also help balance the cylinder heads.

I have seen dynos done on the difference between H and X pipes and the X pipes always produce the most RWHP and Torque. In some cases with a SB depending on mods a gain of up to 5 to 7 HP, BB engines 9 to 10 HP. H pipes do not help extract gases form the cylinder heads, they do help balance the exhaust. After about 2500 RPM the air across the H begins to cause cavitation blocking the exhaust gases.

So far as mufflers you want a straight through wide open design without baffles or chambers that will restrict air flow and create interior noise or drone.

Please feel free to call, email or PM us anytime with questions or low forum pricing.

Same here. My old x-pipe was raspier and now my h-pipe is deep...I'm switching back to an x-pipe

I have the full Magnaflow x pipe and cat back on my 90 LX. Best thing I ever did! I noticed a big differance over the stock H and Flows.
