I was wondering which is better, X pipes or Y pipes. does one add more horsepower or one sound better?

What kind of car are you talking about? You will have a hard time getting an X pipe under a 4th gen F-body because of clearance problems.

I'm talking about a 4th gen 98 trans am, should I get a X pipe or a y pipe?

Z pipes are the way to go in our cars. Hard to find, but you can probably have a local exhaust shop fab one up for you.





















Actually, an 'X' pipe is used on true dual cars, whereas a 'Y' pipe is used on ours, as they only have one pipe running to the muffler, then into Dual exhausts...

Never heard of them? Dude...they ROCK...

There really isn't much of an option on a 98 Trans Am unless ou want to go with a very custom setup. I would imagine that would be extremely pricey as well.

Y-pipe is what we have.
