X PIPE Vs H PIPE: What's The Difference?

[@MrWoodyBalto]

I'm the furthest thing from a Mustang guy but I have to admit they have always sounded great, going all the back to the Fox Bodies in the 80's.

[@iNegroTv]

I'm a Chevy fanboy, but if you ask me which American V8 sounds the best, it's Mustangs.

The H pipe on most cars modified usually gets changed back because they realize the takeoff is slower, but the end result is fine. the x is better. the y is better for VQs .

[@yesyes9943]

[@jumpinjimmyg2164]

H pipe is better for the classic American v8 sound, also if your engine is cammed the H pipe will bring out the chop much more at idle.

[@scottnewellguitar]

Great vid! Shopping X vs H and much prefer the fatter tone of the H. Thanks!!

[@chefalan23]

I think the x pipe suites the car better. Those high flowing/high revving motors really benefit from the scavenging of the x.

[@stradivarius151]

Power/flow wise, yes that's correct, X pipes do allow for better flow at high rpms, which is why they're so popular in this age of peak-power-at-any-expense (aka Instagrammable dyno numbers). But H pipes were far more common even just 20 years ago, even in JDM platforms - and aside from sounding much deeper, they make low- and mid- range power that is more useful on the track.

[@Ty420]

That mach-1 looks soooo good but that 5.0 sound is just perfect imo

[@Americafirst-i8q]

The H-pipe for most modern cars give it a more muscular sound, while the x-pipe will be more raspy, in addition with an H pipe, you have plenty of low-end torque, whereas with an x pipe you lose low-end torque, but you gain it at the top end

[@MidwestMotor]

Perfectly said! It's mostly the HP gains are in the upper RPM for the X-Pipe. But for the sound and racing with torque being most important, the H-Pipe wins all day long!

[@RollingInMy5pt0]

And youll never notice the difference with the 2

[@dannyrosabal719]

So which one better?

[@dakotajones8010]

have a 14 gt it previously had long tubes hi flow cats x pipe vibrant reso and muffler delete people kept saying it sounded like Chewbacca so i went to a shop had an h pipe made and its super deep and throaty i will always do H pipe over X pipe

[@sageen]

So you care more about what about people think then what you like?😅 weak

[@drifteradol86z]

With the H-pipe, the GT sounds more like a stock Mach 1, but the Mach 1 with the X-pipe sounds like a Shelby GT350 or GT500, I like it much better with the X-pipe.

[@petrolheadforever196]

[@ragintaurusmusclemercury7023]

Both cars sound better with the crossover pipes installed. The GT with h-pipe has a more deeper classic muscle car tone. The Mach 1 with x-pipe has a more modern higher pitch tone. You can't go wrong with either. It is a preference of what you like. That being said I like to thank the troll "Midnight "Mechanic aka "Self Made Auto" for constantly bringing up my name in every comment. I live in his head rent free. 😆🌈👬

Facts

[@franknixon15]

Both sound impressive! That MACH-1 though, a sharp looking beast! Really like the rims too!

[@youchris67]

H-Pipe all the way! Sounds much better than the X-Pipe. I went from factory, to X-Pipe, and then to an H-Pipe. The difference is a deeper tone both at idol and when accelerating. The fact that the H-Pipe does not scavenge, is what creates the deeper tone. The stagnant exhaust is in the way of the fresh pulse of exhaust from the manifold that creates a shock wave as the to masses of air collide in the exhaust stream. I'm sure that better scavenging is desirable, but the lack of it from my H-Pipe is worth it!

[@jesusgurrola7062]

In my experience with my grand marquis, an h-pipe made it sound like a truck and x-pipe made it sound like shit

[@ragintaurusmusclemercury7023]

I owned two Grand Marquis myself and the reason why the x-pipe sound bad on it is because the 4.6L engine makes more of its horsepower in the lower ranges. That means an h pipe is more suitable than an x-pipe. And you are right. An x-pipe do make them sound like shit unless they were designed to rev at a higher RPM like the dual overhead cam versions or the three valve versions of the 4.6.

My family has always been toyota and chevy.

[@ragintaurusmusclemercury7023]

@@howdythere2419 it would because you will have to tune the vehicle in order for the cam to work properly which includes adjusting the timing so it can rev at higher RPMs. I had a cammed 4.6L in my first Mercury and it sounds a lot different then the cammed 5.4L in the Mercury I have now.
