"H" or "X" Pipe advice Please

I have a "H" pipe & I'll tell you, I'm not a fan. I'm starting to believe they are a complete waste of cash & time. Makes it tougher to work on the tranny or remove pipes, takes away some of the "crispness" of the motor & I'm willing to be it didn't add any hp.

I don't know. If you want it for looks, then go for it, otherwise keep em straight, imo.
