$177 is a lot for an x-pipe. Any muffler shop can build and install one for about $100. Or they can order one from Magnaflow installed, for less than $177.
I ordered an x-pipe from the bay. And I just welded it in. Saves me money for more mods.

I just had straight pipes replace the resonator and 44 installed. I like the way it sounds!

Hi,

I bought a Magnaflow X-Pipe 2.5" MAG10791 for $69.95 off eBay.

Also, Stolenfox (?) on the LS1GTO site was making a H-pipe kit
you may want to check out.

What is the difference between straight pipes and an X-pipe?

I was looking at cutting my Rez off and just having straight pipes put in it's place.
But I still have 2 years for factory warrenty

I was told it gives more of a smoother sound with x or H pipe ?

From what I've been told. An X-pipe or H-pipe is better than straight pipes. They equalize the exhaust pressure from one side to the other.
An H-pipe will give you more of a old school muscle sound. The X-pipe has a better flow with more of a sporty sound.

I have Flowmasters with the X-pipe. I think I got the best of both worlds. Also the X-pipe got rid of the popping, I had on hard deceleration.

Hi,

Thanks, cncmasterofor for the centerline info. I used the Magnaflow
MAG10791 2.5". It has the 4" centerline and hooks up easily.
