It provides a different sound, very little HP gain.

Besides a different sound, does an X pipe or H pipe reduce gurgle on deceleration? Hate the popping noise when shifting down.

From what I have heard...the gurgle is reduced and the sound is smoothed out some (somewhat more quiet)....I would say with the Stinger x pipe package would see HP increase of about 10

Get a X pipe, it will help with any resonance/droning that occurs. Will also give a few ponies as well...check out Magnaflows at their site.

YES it really does eliminate this - It also "smoothed" out the sound - The X pipe gave it a MUCH better overall sound. I have the magnaflow, bolt on installation, SUPER high quality.
