I came across this article in one of my favourite car mags "Super Chevy" I found it quite interesting in answering some ongoing debates over whether the H-pipe or X-pipe is a better choice for a performance exhaust. As usual with performance modifications there are pros and cons with either and in the end it's a personal preference. If max HP is your goal I thought the article gave a slight edge to the X-pipe. However for me, the H-pipe is my preference...... Here's the article: X-pipe vs H-pipe Comparison

I have my 2nd X pipe system, and I have to admit....I simply like the sound of an H pipe better....Its sounds more rumbly to me. I think I will custom make my next exhaust in an H style

I ran with neither for a while when I first installed the ZZ....It was simply too rattle can like without the balance.....Sounded like a machine gun going off....

My old Camaro's I ran straight dual exhaust...Awesome sound but for sure No balance of it. It was LOUD..but I ran no tail pipes just short cut off's. On the blue beastie, we have H pipe...I like it..X pipes look attractive and cool for sure, but probably for more aggressive HP engines than my little mild performer small block.
Good read...now I know why I can smoke "The Flamin Machine" off the line...H Pipe more lower end torque...X pipe nada...Oops did I just say that? LOL...Ok he caught up to me and passed, but it took him half the length of the track to do so...:-)
I will shut up now, I promised "Hammy" I would play nice this year and behave myself. Lol...Hmmm Fat chance...
