X pipe
An X pipe helps balance the back pressure like an H pipe and also scavenges the exhaust to help the engine breathe better,plus the type of muffler you run on your truck also adds to the sound you get from the X,like the sound you hear when a Mustang or Cobra drives by.There are many good Xipes out there,Magnaflow,I run a Bassani and a company called Dr.Gas makes custom X pipes,send them the dimensions of the pipe and they'll custom fab one for you,check them out,their web site is pretty cool.hope this helped,good luck.

From the purely sound aspect an 'X' pipe will make your exhaust note sound better by connecting all 8 of the cylinders.
It is especially bad if you have side exit dual exhaust (opposite sides). Then the exhaust note will sound more like a 4 cylinder on each side. The X pipe eliminates this.
