The X-pipe, situated between the muffler and the catalytic converter, plays a pivotal role in exhaust system dynamics.
Two common types of midpipes are the X-Pipe and H-Pipe. While the H-Pipe resembles the letter 'H' and connects two exhaust pipes with a smaller pipe in between, the X-Pipe takes its name from its X-shaped design, where exhaust streams momentarily merge before parting ways again.
Opting for an X-Pipe leads to a higher exhaust note and increased power in the high RPM range. On the other hand, an H Pipe tends to produce a deeper sound and provides extra torque in the lower RPM range.
For vehicles that support only a Y-pipe, converting to a dual setup is recommended for achieving maximum horsepower. Upgrading to an X or H setup facilitates increased airflow, allowing for higher horsepower and torque levels, while alleviating excessive back-pressure.
