| I am doing the PYPES LT and from what I researched which i always do well they are manufactured almost the same for alot less money. It is a very involved job to install them that is why I am getting them installed. Every where I looked the PUPES recieved excellent rating and power gains not that KOOKS arn't good they are just alot mory money for the same power. I am also getting the O/R X Pipe it is all going in next friday. then I will post a very load video. | |

| H for that Muscle car sound and X for the euro sound (and a couple more ponies of course). I have a MAC H in mine. | |

| yup, was a pain for me. everything was OEM rusted and ugly. I picked up Magnaflow Wide Open catback with the Mac H-Pipe catted of course. Didn't want the inspection hassle of off-road . | |

| Don't get me wrong. I love the sounds of both. The H-pipe will give you more of a deeper, mellow tone and the X-pipe is more of a raspy, metallic sound. Most people prefer the H-pipe sound. Especially old school guys like myself. I would say listen to both before you decide. That way you can make the best decision and also if possible ride in both so you can hear how they both sound inside the car (drone and resonance) since you'll be in it everyday. | |

| Oh! Did I mention you will gain a slight more HP with an X-Pipe compared to the H. | |

| I am getting the Headers and X pipe installed on friday so and I am going to the mod party on sunday so we can hear it then. Honestly I am alittle nervous myself I hav heard both and the X does sound great but again I was told if it's too raspy I can just change my mufflers and possible keep all the same horsepower. however I always liked a load exhaust but i'll let you know this weekend. | |

| Mine cost me 250 and they were shorties (Much harder to do). I replaced the gaskets with copper ones (no re-torquing) when I swapped my K-Member to a QA1. It's a cinch without a k-member in it. The guy is now out of business. I'd say 400 to 500 for install. | |

| When I go LT, I'll do it. With new k-member, it will be a breeze. Lot's of open space underneath. | |
