Which is better an x-pipe or H-pipe?
Generally, the X-pipe will deliver a more high-pitched exhaust note, making a car sound more exotic, whereas an H-pipe gives a deeper tone with more of a traditional hot rod sound,” says George Rumore of Stainless Works. The X-pipe will usually make anywhere from two to four more horsepower than an H-pipe.
What’s louder H-pipe or X-pipe?
X-pipes are generally raspier and louder than H or Y-pipes and have been shown to provide slightly more power than their counterparts. You are likely to see most of the power gains higher in the rpm band with an X-pipe.
Does an H-pipe make a difference?
The main difference between the two is the deeper growl of the H-pipe. You could compare it to an old school muscle car. Additionally, H-pipes give a slight increase in torque compared to an X-pipe. However, this increase in torque comes at the expense of slightly less power.
Is an H-pipe necessary?
Flowmaster® strongly recommends using a crossover tube, otherwise known as an H-pipe or balance pipe on all true dual exhaust systems. The crossover pipe equalizes the exhaust pulses and allows the sounds waves to communicate between both banks of the engine.
Do you need a tune for X pipe?
Registered. You do not need a tune with just X-pipe.
Are H pipes loud?
The H is louder at idle and X is louder at high rpm.. You’ll notice the H almost sounds like it’s getting muffled at higher rpm where the X usually gets louder at higher rpm. On my 99 so far I’ve had Bassani/BBk style X pipe, BBK H, UPR X, and Dr.

Do Mustangs come stock with H pipe?

What are the differences between Mustang h, x and Y pipes?
Mustang X-pipe, H-pipe & Y-pipe Sounds & Selection Options 1 X-pipes provide loud sounds and raspy revs 2 H-pipes give a more classic, old school sound 3 Y-pipes are more restrictive and are found on V6 Mustang models
Why do you need a new exhaust pipe in a Mustang?
In general, most people only upgrade their Mustang’s mid-pipe to improve exhaust flow in a quest for more horsepower and torque, but it can change the sound as well.
What kind of pipe does a Mustang S550 have?
The S550 comes from the factory with an H style mid-pipe, which gives it a deep style tone. However, most people prefer to change the exhaust to their own liking, primarily with an axle-back exhaust and a mid-pipe. So which one is right for you?
Which is better the X pipe or the H pipe?
If you want the louder, higher pitched race car sound, the X-pipe might be better for you. If you want an old school muscle car sound, you’ll probably prefer the H-pipe. Either one you decide to go with, you car is going to sound good, and you’ll love hearing it ever time you hit the gas.
