H is better sounding, X might be louder by 0.1 dB if you can tell the difference then fair play you must have the sensitivity of an ultrasound Dolphin but the amount of people who say "Best sounding car" at most shows I go to just sums it all up.

Im not on about the sound level Phil . Iv always prefered the sound of an X pipe over an H . The scream is more Italian. So much so that i may sacrafice my 125Db for the X pipe .

Each to their own, hate the high pitched trumpet sound, want a deep burble and rorty, punchy sound.

This is what you should do!!

Mine is 10mm lower than standard as well. As it has the sports handling pack and it has two bits of metal that stick out at the rear that catch on everything!!!

So annoying.

But surely that's just because Adam isn't at most shows you go to? Otherwise they'd say his was the best sounding. Definitely.

Don't be all upset and defensive, Phil. Your £25 Prius-spec exhaust is still ̶3̶r̶d̶ ̶4̶t̶h̶ ̶5̶t̶h̶ err... 6th loudest. Well done, you!

No chance mate, just like at Le Mans last year when the 3200 was voted a better sound to your banana. Face it mate in the Exhaust stakes you just don't cut it.

I love your one-man surveys, mate. Especially when you are that man!

I saw a G-wizz in town earlier today - pretty sure it was louder than your GTS!

X pipe sounds great on a GTS. Adam N's is the nuts...shame about the orange wheels he did with crayons

I'll have you know those orange wheels were the epitome of sh!t taste and crass. They were also an absolute bloody ******* to get back to anthracite.

And iirc the X pipe is a whopping 0.5 dB louder, which is exactly the same as the difference between being really masculine and really quite timid and whispery.

PS - I have a few cans of orange plastidip left if anyone's interested? Phil, if your beard needs a touch up just let me know. :)

It's gone mate! Since I've lost the battle for masculinity I thought I'd go with the bald coot look :D

Oh bollox! Now where's the sport in that? Alright, how about for your hair then? The lurid orange may be a bit subdued compared to what you're used to but I'm happy to help out a mate. :)
