Default H pipe in APS exhaust? yay or nay

For anyone whos heard the APS exhaust, its got a very unique note, and its on no other exhaust. Its a nice sound, but its getting very boomy, especially since I have test pipes on.. I spoke to a exhaust specialist (who happens to be a material science engineer) and he suggested H pipe or X pipe, with the later being more effective in producing a clean engine sound. i did some more reasearch and I can see why, a simple balancing of air...and the alll so common "make it sound like a V6 and not 2 3 cylinder engines". So hows everyones opinoin on it? Also, poeople who've done it already, please let me know

If you already have that much power then make it sound good too.

I wouldn't go through the trouble of installing an X-pipe. Just add an H-pipe and the sound will improve on your N/A setup. An X pipe will be a much more involved process than an H pipe.

A better suggestion would be to install a TT kit and use the exhaust with the setup it was designed for

buy a pre-made stainless x-pipe (or x-muffler and replace your resonators too like i did)

don't believe what ppl tell you... it's not involved at all and cost me less than 200 measly canadian dollars to do it INCLUDING parts and labor

burns wants $400 for the same design we build, and $600 for the same exact custom parallel end X pipe we build. it is not as easy as one might think. i would think even to get it done by an exhaust shop would be atleast $300 by the time they were done and prolly filling 1/4" weld gaps. we set for 0 gap to create really strong welds.
