X pipe or H pipe?

I have headers true duals and an h pipe. Is it worth installing an x pipe or am I wasting time and money?

unless the car's highly modified and you're now trying to suck out every last little bit of horsepower from your setup, it's probably not worth your time to swap it out

it would help on any set up, but its not needed for this; an h pipe should be all you need. unless you're trying to suck every bit of potential out of it the extra velocity/scavenging might not make enough of a difference for you at this point. but if you have the spare $$$ it wouldn't hurt
