Ok. I did some research. Here is what I found. The purpose of H and X pipes is to reuduce the pulsing and back pressure of exhaust from 2 cyl's that fire at the same time on the same bank by bleeding the exhaust into the other side where there is no pressure. That helps torque and hp. The X pipe is more efficient and gives more torque and hp than the H pipe. The H pipe is louder. The X pipe has a lower smoother sound. So if you want sound go the H pipe, if all you are worried about is performance then the X pipe. I decided the X pipe. So now my question is who offers the best X pipes?

The X is louder and has a higher pitched sound, the H is lower and has a deeper growl. I have an X.

Dr. Gas has the patent on the best geometry, since he developed the technology.

I was alittle confused on that. Some people were saying H pipes were louder, had a 60s era muscle car sound and sounded more choppy. Some said they had a deeper lower sound. Also heard H pipes tend to pop more on deceleration. Some said the X pipes are louder, high pitched and more raspy sounding while some said they had a lower, deeper and smoother tone than H pipes. Which is which? And I decided on the H pipe. What are some good H pipe kits?

You have the answers right in your post.
H ="had a 60s era muscle car sound and sounded more choppy, they had a deeper lower sound"
X="Some said the X pipes are louder, high pitched and more raspy sounding"
Bassani, BBK, MAC are some of the companys that make them.

For the six, there are 3 ways of going about it, actually 4
1) pick up and H-pipe adapter from Summit Racing (only because they're the cheapest usually, but you can run a froogle search for Pacesetter Exhaust Mustang Adapter
2) Pick up Spintech's X-pipe which uses Dr. Gas
3) have a local shop make a custom adapter
4) go to any exhaust manufacturer and just pick up the X-pipe portion and have a local shop put together an adapter.

I have seen a full X pipe kit from BBK but are there any complete H pipe kits. Cant find any.
There is an h-pipe adapter from Both MAC and Pacesetter exshaust. Pacesetter is stainless steel and cheaper.
