X Pipe vs. H Pipe

X Pipe vs. H Pipe
What's are the Pro's and Con's of either pipe crossover?
Does it matter what crossover I use?
Proposed setup: Delete 4 Cats and replace with http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MPE-94106/ then run a 2.5 crossover of your choosing (X or H), into 2 http://www.summitracing.com/parts/WLK-24215/, then have http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MPE-35117/ tips.
Any suggestions/ideas?
Thanks.
Carl

Yeah the x helps balance out the system and the h does it as well, but not quite as well. It adds that chop to the system vs the x pipe. TO be honest, I would go with the x, the go with what you want more ( more of a stang type sound or more balance for performance) It's not a big difference.

Correct. X pipe will help better in the low to mid range.
What vehicle was that tested with, a Mustang? Well there is a major difference in the under body of an F150, and a Mustang, its the fuel tank. Because of the F150's fuel tank location, you cannot run the X pipe right after the tranny and run the mid pipes straight back and out, the left bank needs guided over to the passener side which takes about 3.5' of extra pipe just to re-route the Y pipe area, and additional 4' - 5' for a left side tailpipe, and the passenger bank will be about 7' - 8' shorter, very unbalanced, so in this case the important thing is to balance it correctly from the start since the tailpipes dont matter for performance, balancing with an X pipe will cross flow and equal out the proper scavenging to perform correctly.
