Look at NASCAR for a moment:

On short tracks and road courses where they want as much torque as possible to power out of corners they usually run an H pipe configuration. On faster tracks where top-end power is the concern, they run an X.

I prefer an X for sound; it's cleaner and more exotic if you couple it with the right mufflers (like mine). An H has more of a beefy tone. Either will sound good, IMO.

You might remember my FRPP Sports from when I still had my stock H pipe.
