Had American Racing Headers build me a custom 3" Stainless system, headers, etc. and originally had X pipe. For me it wasn't at all about performance difference but sound.

Coming from previous straight duals (2.5") with no crossover, I hated the way the X pipe sounded by comparison, so we switched it to an H pipe and it sounds so much better. Everyone's ear for their exhaust note/tone will be different of course.

The X pipe sounded very raspy/buzzy at low/part throttle (not enough deep tone) but great at WOT. The H pipe got the low/part throttle deeper tone back which is the majority of driving I do. WOT sounds as good or better than X pipe, again to my ear...YMMV

Can't say anything but great things about Nick at ARH, and the crew there, top notch work and wonderful to deal with.

I made mine where it just unbolts at the balance tube and then I just twist it off after removing the rear V-bands and the front band clamps.

I like the deeper throatier sound of an H pipe vs the raspy (usually) newer car sound of an x pipe. it's hard to explain. It's higher pitched I guess. Or sounds like it. As terrible as my exhaust is right now, i do like being able to take one or both pipes off independently of one another if I need to. If I ever go H pipe, I'm getting the one that has an offset flange so I can still remove it one side at a time.
