There has to be a reason why MB/AMG chose a factory H pipe? I would just stick with that. If you are doing a 3 inch mid section then increase the size of your H pipe as well.

H pipe gives way more bass and deep v8 sound. It also gives more low end tq, x pipe is more exotic higher pitch with better top end HP.

Yup...plus, don't assume that just because mb chose to use it that it's the best choice for you.
