X pipes vs H pipes, what to use for a dual exhaust conversion Reply #16 – April 09, 2010, 03:14:48 PM I used Mustang 5.0 stock headers, Mark 7 H-pipe with cats from Advance Auto Parts (I forget the brand of the H-pipe), and a Mustang LX Flowmaster catback kit (I forget which series). I'm very happy with it. Quote Selected
X pipes vs H pipes, what to use for a dual exhaust conversion Reply #17 – April 09, 2010, 04:16:45 PM Hmmm...well, I've had both on the same car/engine. The H-pipe was a stock Mustang 4-cat deal, the X-pipe is cat-less. There is a LOT more flow with the X-pipe now, obviously, but that's not a fair comparison. I do like the way the X-pipe fit; it's more compact, a bit smarter overall. Sound-wise, my car does not sound like a 5.0 anymore...in fact I can't say for sure what it sounds like. I have a 5.0 and equal-length shorties but you'd never know it to hear it. It's...different with the X-pipe. Kind of refreshing. My dad says he can hear me from at least a mile away, sometimes more LOL.It's personal preference, but in my years of experience, it's a hell of a lot easier to hang an X-pipe. But if you want the 5.0 sound I think the H-pipe is a safer bet. Quote Selected

X pipes vs H pipes, what to use for a dual exhaust conversion Reply #21 – April 10, 2010, 11:31:32 AM The unknown brand X pipe I have won't fit due to interfering with the floor shifter linkage, the Hooker "H" pipe doesn't have a big issue... Had to trim the ear from the shifter cable bracket but has worked fine for 10 years... Quote Selected
