Some sound louder, or mean, and some are higher in quality than others. I like Bassani, SLP, Magnaflow or Pypes. You would be safe with any of those and all will add a nice raspy tone. Im sure i left a couple other good brands out, that was just to name a few. Ive heard to stay away from Jegs x pipes.

I agree.Stay with a name brand.Some of the offbrands are thin material and just not made well.

I have the Pypes o/r X and it sounds great with my flows. For the most part a lot of them do sound similar but people like us(car lovers) will catch the difference(it's slight depending on the exhaust set up). The quality is where it's at and fitment is very important also so keep that in mind. The one's KB named are the ones to go for

the upr x that you have is about as loud as x pipes get. pypes x has a the throatiest tone of them all. bassani x pipes have more of a exotic raspy tone. dr. gas makes a pretty good x pipe too.

Dr. Gas was the one I was going to get before I made the choice to get Pypes because at the time Dr. Gas didn't have a bolt-on application, only the welded one.

The UPR sounds very similar to the Pypes one. They are almost exactly the same price and quality are about the same too. That was also one I was researching before I got mine. The Bassani is a nice piece quality and sound is great, it was too expensive for me at the time.

i have a bassani catted x pipe and absolutely love the sound, it is however a bit more expensive then other x pipes, i paid $400 for mine but it was money well spent....when i was deciding i was torn between getting an h or x bc i dont like the high, raspy, popping exhaust, but getting the catalytic bassani x pipe along with chambered flows it definetely gave it an exotic tone with a deep aggressive sound that is mean as hell....but if u really wanna hear the real differences then go to youtube and search around, i probably spent a month straight listening before finally making my decision...u can find almost any exhaust combo imagineable on youtube
