Yes it will. An H will actually work better with the firing order of a V6.

Not to contradict you, but I thought because our V6s are even firing an mid pipe does not matter? I know the H pipe will even out the flow but thats it.

Aha, you are correct. You don't NEED a mid pipe on our cars, its a sound thing for us.


And

Wow 100th post...anyways It's all a matter of personal preference really. If you already have an X-pipe, just stick with that. Some people like the sound of an H-pipe, some the sound of an X-pipe. I personally like the X-pipe better. But that's just me. Decide which one you like better, and go from there. Best of luck!
