X-Pipe or H-Pipe

this is my true dual exhuast setup.

2 cats cut out
h-pipe close to my cats
2 super 44 mufflers close to my rear axle
Also got a Airriad CAI.

Should i have went with an x-pipe?
will the x make it louder.




Another question i want to give my truck some more power to push 37's. Should i get OBX headers or a edge chip and airriad throttle body? Both are under $550. So i can put less stress on my engine.

X pipe wont make it much louder but it will make it crackle/rasp a bit more. H pipe will have it remain deep toned & get the exhaust pressure leveled out right.

For power I would get a custom tune.

An X-pipe will give you more horsepower and torque, but the H-pipe will sound louder/more aggressive.

Get long tube headers. Their gains have been proven on the dyno (usually about 30/30 with a proper exhaust). However, the best thing to help turn bigger tires are gears. I'd say 4.56s or 4.88s for your 37's.
