Its basically referring to your RPM range.

Here are a few articles that can give ya some decent info on the differences with some testing and numbers.

The late great John Lingenfelter, the master of the small block Chevy, says H-pipe for low end torque. You can read his books. Unless you race your truck, the H-pipe offers better street performance. The reason all the kits come with x-pipes is because they want the consumer to replace thier H that most stock cars and trucks come with with thier X-pipe and make a profit. Pure marketing crap. X-pipes kill torque out off the whole.
