exhaust place said this, Do you think they are right?
I just had an exhaust package installed on my truck.
cat-back true duels
magnaflow xl turbo SI/SO
2.25 inch piping
3.5 in stainless steel tips.
Here is my question, I told them that I wanted an x-pipe or H-pipe installed on the truck. The guy told me that it didn't really make a difference. There would be very very little difference in performance, and that it would only make it quieter. He said they only use the H pipe technique on very large engines to quiet down the engine.
Now according to the hundreds on posts on this page. An H pipe does make a difference.
My truck has a lot more hp now that Everything is done. I think I lost a small amount of torque on the low end but not a lot. The truck also has a little ruffer idle now.
1) would the installation of an H pipe make a difference in performance?
2) What about the placement of the H-pipe?
This is what my setup looks like. Where should the H pipe go if I need one?

H Pipe
Micahb00,
I'm sure that picture meens something but I don't get it.
What engine do you have?
If your running the stock Y pipe with a single pipe into the muffler then you don't need a crossover(H pipe).After the muffler I don't think it matters what you do as long as you keep the bends down.
Now if you split the pipe before the stock Y then run each side to it's own muffler then a cross over of some kind is almost always benificle to low end and mid range torque,it also changes the exhaust note a little.
