last min suggestions x or h?

thatonekidw/theGT · July 17th, 2007, 04:13 AM

I currently have a magnaflow (not magnapacks) cat back system on my 2000 GT. it has the stock h-pipe on it right now. I am wanting to replace that with a o/r x pipe. or h pipe.
I want it to be deeper and louder than it is right now. should i just go with the magnaflow kit to match my cat back? or is there a better solution to this problem? x or h..and what about prochamber?
thanks

i have the magnaflow tru-x o/r x-pipe with magnapacks and i love it, i also have bbk shortys. no matter which of those you choose if you get an o/r one it will be louder. an h-pipe will give you a good deep sound. an x will give you a little louder sound and a few more hp, but its only a few so dont worry. a prochamber is kinda the best of both worlds and a lot of people love them. with my packs and shortys my car has a deep sound even though i have an x. but with your cat back i'd get an o/r h or the prochamber and i think you'd be happy.

if you want a deep tonbe, an h or prochamber is the way to go. if you want loud, x is what you want.

X if you are looking for function. Some say H sounds better, but X actually helps more.

I think the only difference is the sound. They both serve the same purpose. There might be slightly more low end torque with the H and slightly more hp with the x, but it won't be much either way. The muffler will decide how loud it is. The h will be more muscular low sound, and the x will be more raspy. Get the pro-chamber and let us know what its like.

If i go with the bbk o/r x pipe? will it fit my stock headers & my magnaflow catback??
