Does anyone actually have an H-pipe in place of their resonator?
Had a chip in my windshield that I didn't notice until a 90 degree day in l.a. turned it into a goddamn spider-web. Anyways, now that I have to take the car in and will have a day free I'm going to get a resonator delete right after.
So....I'm pretty set on an h-pipe and if I don't like it I can always switch to an x.
Mainly I wanted to know if I would be the only person on the forums with an h in place of the resonator instead of an x or straights.
To clear any confusion, I'm not talking about touching the cats at all.
This is only about the resonators.
EDIT: I'm running eisenmann race's so the sound will increase significantly with the res delete.

From all the research I have done, actually deleting secondaries and resonators today, I found through numerous feedback to place straight pipes where the resonators are! You could definitely try...easynswitchnto straights or a x ifnyou don't like it. Good luck!

Just to clear things up again...
I'm getting an H-pipe and I know the benefits of both.
I just wanted to know if anyone actually has an H-pipe in place of their resonator or if I will be the only one...

I dunno what you exactly mean by H pipe.
But I deleted the secondary cats and the resonator on my 07 E63. I had them weld 2x 3" straight pipes pretty much. I don't care if I lose power, it sounds so amazing. At the end they just put that bar that runs perpendicular to the exhaust back on and not a problem. Do the 2 pipes have to be attached to be considered an H pipe?
