Has anyone installed a hi-flow Hpipe with the stock exhaust and if so did you notice a difference in the exhaust note. I'm considering 2 1/2 H pipe with hi-flow cats, I'm expecting a deeper note from this. I feel that X-pipe will be to raspy of sound note. Thanks for input on this subject.
High flow H pipe or X pipe ?

Rule of thumb is X pipe needs straight through muffler and it is more exotic sounding (Bassani/magnaflow)
H pipe needs chamber muffler and is more musle car sounding.
I have the mac H pipe and it by far the cheapest best mod I have ever done, end of story. The prochamber is just a bit different sounding, but for price and sound go MAc H you will not be dissapointed.

I have the bassani x w/cats with the maganaflow magnapack catback. The sound is awesome, deep, and mean. Has a nascar type sound to it, and a very noticeable performance gain. I am going to get the offroad bassani to increase even more. You won't be dissapointed with this combo.

How do you like the sound of that combo you have. Bassani x and Magnapacks?!? I will be doing this around x mas and on a scale of 1 to 10 what do you rate? What rwhp do you think you gained?!? That is one of the mods I really want. well that and the vortech! =}
As a comparison,I have a Dr.Gas 3 inch off-road X-pipe,with long tube headers,but with Flowmaster 2 chamber mufflers,on my 85 LX,with a well built 351W. It does sound really wild at WOT. I have just decided to go with the H-pipe on the Bullitt,to enhance the sound it has and maybe pick up a few HP along with it.

I had the bassani X w/o cats and magnaflows on my 2000 GT. I loved it as well, but it is more exotic car sounding, does sound like a nascar at WOT. I could not imagine the magnapacks with this combo, that would be way to loud for my liking indeed. I lost some low end TQ with this set up, but it all was made up on top. IF you have gears you are good to go.
I have the MAC H pipe on my Bullitt, dont know if I got as much power out of this set up, But I like the sound a lot better, plus you done need to replace the stock cat back. Did not lose an ounce of low end tq....
Price: MAC O/R H pipe... 115.00
Magnaflow/Bassani combo over 700.00
I would rather put that extra 500 into gears.
thats my .02

Or you could go with:
Mac LT's 329.00
Mac O/R H 119.00
Race Mags 60.00 each
Stock tailpipes
Install cost me 250.00 so I have 818.00 into my exhaust. I probably should put new 2.5 inch tail pipes but that should only be 150-200, even with stainless. Those cat back systems and bassani stuff can put the price up pretty high.

If I could find a place to install long tube headers for 250.00 I would have that set up in a heart beat, more worth the money then the bassani/magnaflow set up.....
