I'm no engineer and I didn't even stay at Holiday Inn but I think all those cars with sideways Xpipes would make more power and sound better with a simple H pipe.

Change my mind.

I had a 3" X pipe on my first gen, I installed a SpeedTech torque arm this Spring, I went with a 3" H pipe. with the same Magnaflow mufflers the change in sound was very obvious to me. The X pipe had a smoother sound and had more of a howl at rpm, the H pipe is choppier more of a muscle car sound I guess, but still sounds good. I liked the X pipe sound better but the custom install wasn't worth it to me.
