Like different muffler sounds and levels of sound some will dislike one mid-pipe type over the other.

Just Google "X-crossover vs H-pipe" and you will get a dozen or more comparisons. Some with actual dyno testing.

I've been through that myself. Tried a couple of "H" systems on my bird and switched to an "X" and got absolutely nothing from it. LOL Car still runs identical ET and MPH. As far as sound I don't notice much if any difference there. We switched my sons Mustang from an "H" to an "X" and it did nothing for sound at all on his car.
2 cars have the more expensive Dr. Gas "X" in the system custom made, and one necks down from 3 1/2" to 3" at the "X" and continues 3" for the rest of the system.
Still a couple cars here with an "H" and they'll likely stay that way since I can't find any measurable difference between the two, I'm going to spend money in other places.
