I went with an h-pipe w/no cats and flows.love the sound.,and if didn't gain any power, it sure DID feel and sound like it!!!I should also say that I believe that exhaust dosent give horsepower it just frees up the h.p. you already have. I guess sorta like how aluminum flywheels, and drive shafts dosen't give h.p. but allows more of it to be used, sorta. IMO nomatter the exhaust you choose you can't beat the sweet sound produced by a V8 mustang!

65 ft/lb of torque from mufflers?
