H pipe inquiry

[Avery Dameron]

I need some advice. I have to throw some very small mufflers on my truck for court, but i dont want them to limit sound as little as possible.  Also- does anyone have a h pipe on a new body truck?  I’ve never heard one and as long as a reasonable price i want to put one on mine.

An H-Pipe is not really going to do a whole lot for sound. 

 

Just get some Borla XR-1s. The shortest you can find.

My cruising vehicles weren’t always all about maximum HP. My favorite exhaust was on my older vehicles prior to x or h cross over. Pipe size was twin 2 1/4s with thrush. Don’t remember drone just rumble. My worst was my 94 impala with 21/2 x pipe flow masters. Cruising at 1800 RPM was painful. The cure for my ears was using glass packs as resonators. Of course prior to overdrives my vehicles never saw 1800 RPMs longer than a blink.

An H pipe or X pipe do nothing for sound they just balance the exhaust pressure. Just throw some quite mufflers on for the inspection then take them back off and wait for another ticket.

Cross overs do change sound and effects drone. Putting cross over in different spots effects sound. I have moved glass packs around to effect sound. It’s amazing just moving pipes, mufflers around how it changes sound.

My understanding is X-pipe makes a little more top end, and sounds more exotic. H-pipe make's a little more mid-range and sounds like a classic muscle car. Single exit make's more power everywhere until very high rpm, and it weighs less. If sized appropriately it will provide enough flow. And being a single pipe it has higher gas velocity. It's all about velocity/scavenging
