help me find a H pipe?

So my car came to me with bbk longtube headers and a pype bomb axle back which I love but it is true dual exhaust. I have been reading that this is terrible for l99/ls3 cars. I did find the jegs/summit xpipe that is affordable but haven't been able to find a H pipe. I have a tick polluter cam and I am worried the choppiness will be affected with a xpipe so I was really looking for a H in the same price range. Thanks. car put down 464/441 on dynojet maybe the mid pipe would up it a few ponies and bring my torque up?

Yep, easiest and most likely least expensive option. Here's another option https://www.phastekperformance.com/M...ipe-92a801.htm

I've had all 3 setups. The tru dual is going to let you "hear the cam" the most. Once you merge the 2 pipes it is going to muffle the rat tat tat... the x pipe is raspy and the most aggressive sounding to me. It sounds angry to me...

Power wise... yes, very little difference. However, I think there is a decent/ noticeable difference with the x pipe.... not so much with the h pipe.

Probably true. They had a plausible explanation for this in the video, as exhaust velocity increases amount of crossover decreases in the H configuration, where the x preserves crossflow at high velocity

So nobody knows of a H pipe design for sub $100 like the xpipe that summit and jegs offer?
