Do you prefer deep or raspy? h pipes sound like Leonidas in his final moments and X-Pipes sound like an opera singer losing their voice. I kid I kid. It seriously. X-pipes with be high pitched whereas the H will have a deeper growl to it.

I've heard nice sounding 5.0's with X's, but, they won't sound as good as one with an H, as long as they have a good set of headers and/or mufflers to go with it.

I vote for an H pipe. As for performance, the X pipe might have 2-3rwhp more, while the H pipe will have 2-3rwtq on the bottom end. Nothing to even think about, IMHO.

I vote for the H pipe because these coyote engines can get pretty raspy real quick.

Love my full kooks exhaust with o/r x-pipe. Quiet while cruising and loud as hell when I on it... To me it's not that raspy, and trust me I have heard some raspy exhaust. Since you not getting full exhaust, I would go with the h-pipe since you have the roush ab. The roush ab is on the loud side in my opinion.

It's just a matter of sound preference. Watch some youtube videos of similar setups with x vs h to get an idea, or hit up a local meet if you have one.
