Yes ikk that everyone has their own opinion on the raspier sound of x or deeper sound of the H....but trying 2 decide which would be the best combo with my Flowmaster american thunder cat-back...listend to a million clips on youtube but cant decide because it doesnt have that life like sound...so thought i would bring the question to my local NY mustang people
O/R X or H pipe...

I have a bbk x with 2 stage american thunders. I ran the pace setter h-pipe first then switched. The AT's get louder with time and sound well with h or x but the x makes more power. I've run those mufflers for 10 years now and recently switched to the x with long tubes. If my imagination isn't tricking me, the long tubes also made a difference in throatiness.- stick with the x its a sure bet and you wont upgrade again.-hope this helped-oh this installed on my 93 5.0. which would probably sound different than a 4.6.

Just a general consensus that most people have come to live by when referring to Mustang exhausts. I have heard a few that sound ok when mixed, but for the most part I agreed with the statement and thus my setup(pypes x, SLP lm1) reflects it.
The world would not end if you did cross the two and hell you might luck out with a decent sounding exhaust.

Flows generally sound like the tradtional old school, American muscle car with an O/R H-pipe. However, Flows sound amazing with an O/R X. From what I've observed, you pick up a bit more torque with an H-pipe than an X, where as you get a few more hp with an X-pipe than an H.
If your going strictly for sound, find cars that have your exhaust + the 2 diff. pipes. Personally, I'd go for the O/R H.

well not trying to steal the thread but, i have a 87 lx as of now its got stock headers an o/r H and Mo fasta 40s in the garage i have BBK longtubes, a bbk o/r X and a mac cat back, macs are chambered so, this is not really good for my set up if i wanted it "proper" ?? or the most power?.. i mean i am not really looking to race it so I'd say its mostly to go a little faster and do it alittle louder, but the O/R X raspiness will be sort of covered by the chambered exhaust.. or no?
