Default 2009+ ZR1 or 2011 Z06 mufflers with H-Pipe?

What do the ZR1 and 2011 Z06 mufflers sound like with an h-pipe instead of the x-pipe?

I'm looking for maximum burble, pop, and gurgle on deceleration, I can't get enough of this sound .

that's what the h-pipe does. The late p/n cans sound more like the NPP option on C6 (w/x-pipe). I have both. (set-ups for my Z)

it will sound about the same as with the X. i've had both midpipes/muffler combos and sold my 07Z with the factory H into a pair of new ZR1 muffs. Difference between X and H is barely noticable. Swap mufflers and it's night and day. The loudest combo I had was H + muffler modded cans. my 2012 Z has more gurgle on decel and it's the same X pipe and ZR1 muffs as before. My 2012 will backfire and sound like a shotgun when the gasses ignite just right in the pipes. I think this contributes to a slightly different tune or timing/fuel combo from the factory, but don't hold me to it.
