x or h same difference. you are only going to make the exhaust 2.5 inch wide all the way back that's perfect. i have bassani x stainless steal good quality.

with the automatic I'd stick with an H-pipe for the better clearance, X-pipes tend to have less room by design since the main pipes meet instead of running parallel.
