[Tigers] X pipe versus H pipe

[Jay Laifman]

Joke's on me!!!!  I just looked to see where my H pipe is.  And there isn't
one!!!  I guess I was remembering his comments from another car that we
built together, which does have an H pipe and I was working on it just last
weekend.

So I guess the sound I like so much on my Tiger is the stock
configuration.
