Well you really can't put a Y pipe on true duals... so I vote X pipe!

Did you mean H pipe instead of Y?

X pipe for sure is my vote.

Sound-wise, I vote H pipe. Listen to 4.6Punisher's videos
But either one will sound good -- and from what I've read on here, the X will perform better.

That is what I figured, but I still had to jack with ya!

Any who, the H will add some sound, but have more crack and pop in it. The X will smooth it out and just give a better tone all together IMO.

^ Nope. It may sound meaner, but that is not threw the exhaust. It might be similar to the old 4 barrel sound... kind of...

What does that have to do with anything?

Its basically just user preference on a stock truck. Check my sig to my old X pipe setup. it was the best sounding F150 ive heard to date. With that much exhaust you need some kind of tune on the truck. IMO cold air kits may not get you a bunch of power but their sound makes it worth all the money!
