Do I really need a H or X pipe?
 
Or can I just run 2 straight pipes to my Magnaflow muflers?

advantages/disadvantages.

I am not a hp freak.

No, you don't have to, but it's a cheap and easy way to add hp. I like the way the X-pipe changes the exhaust sound.

I personally like the sound of an x-pipe, but running two completely seperate pipes would work too i guess.

What kind of sound does an X pipe make?

Its kinda hard to balance scavenging without one or the other...

An X will quiet down the more aggressive (aka loud) systems. It can add a little more power and its not as frequency sensative as an H pipe.

An H is a mere balance tube but doesnt do as much for scavenging, negative pressure balance, frequency control or sound quality.

Yep, I really see no "upside" to not running an x-pipe. To be honest I thought the only people the used H-pipes were the ones too lazy or unable to fab up an x-pipe.. lol

Magnaflow makes a nice 3" x-pipe.. It's what I'm running.

Location ?
 
Does the location of the X-pipe have an effect and/or is there a best position for one ? On my project (C5 vette sys) I can place it close to the engine right at the clutch - or just in front of the rear axle before it goes up and over.

Thx, Jim
