exhaust balanced tube

1500 for a header back system..........OOFA........... Long Island prices!!!!!!!!!

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.

Where did you get the H pipe ?

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.

ARH made it custom, part of the complete system they built for me.

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.
