as i understand it and x pipe would be better due to the lack of turbulance, its a smoother flow that the H pipe, the person doing your exhaust is probly just doing an H pipe because its easier, theres no bends to it, expeccialy if he does it where the two pipes have to come togather to go by the transmission, an x pipe may end up costing you more, just beause its more work to make or buy,

crowz: You should be really happy with the x pipe...ive got a 90 f-150 with a 5.0, and mine sounds much better with it...I have the same setup as you, except for the headers, and i have 2 1/2 in pipe and origional FM 40's....let us know how it sounds man!

All that the rear O2 sensor in a OBDII controlled truck does is just tell the computer that the converter didn't die. (or hasn't yet). I wonder if you can get a MIL fooler and wire it into the wiring of the rear sensor after you pull the cat?? I've seen this trick for Mustangs and the like.

Its great, i love the power and the sound 
But I dont think between 2 1/4 and 2 1/2 would make much of a diff anyways.... JMOnd4spd

seems like alot of money to ship headers, i ordered so far 3 exhausts from summit, one for my truck one for my moms tahoe, and one for a freinds, dodge, and they were 15 to ship, and they weighed alot more than a set of headers, boy seems like jegs is pretty expensive,
but that seems actually pretty cheap, expecialy for all the pipe bending
