Which style x-pipe is best?

which of these styles of x-pipe is considered better for drone cancellation and scavenging effect or whatever they call it?

Generally speaking, the difference is negligible. I believe an x-pipe provides better uninterrupted flow and more power, but not substantially. It also has a higher, raspier sound. I believe H-pipes are generally for older muscle cars while x-pipes are for newer cars.

Agreed - I've done a custom build installed x-pipe with both resonators delete. I'm very happy with the sound. See my post

I don't think x-pipes help with drone, they kinda just change the tone and make it quieter than straight pipes. If you drone at certain rpm right now, you will most likely still drone.
