X pipe VS H pipe
I tried to read many posts before posting a question. I am trying to get an idea for the opinions out there on x pipe vs h pipe. I've heard from some friends that X pipe is better for flow b/c it doesn't create as much turbulence. I have an 05 5.4. Thanks.

you guys gotta be kidding me. iv never seen a forum with such a lack of technical knowledge. no offense, its no big deal. anyway, heres what ill offer, an h-pipe and an x pipe both do exactly the same thing, except an h pipe costs next to nothing, and a x pipe cost alot. the idea is to even out the exhaust pulses between the true duels. without a balance pipe it will pop and crackle becasue the pipes aren't balanced. in a perfect world, each side of a true duel would be the same length, with the same bends, but since its not, a balance pipe is what makes a duel exhaust system a good one. basicaly, whatever fits under your truck beter, alot of times, an x pipe ends up lookign cleaner under alot of cars, for a truck, and h pipe seems to work fine, i have an h pipe.

The correct word is dual as in 2 or a pair.
And as for the aforementioned knowledge....I never claimed to be all knowing quite the opposite.

Before you starting flaming people or an entire forum....try and at have the KNOWLEDGE to speak correctly. Don't say duel unless your are going to walk paces and draw.

relax, im not here to bash anyone, i just thought i could offer some information in alot of these threads where the original poster never really got any good solid information. you dont need to correct my grammer, its a truck forum, not a spelling and grammar forum.
