Well, I'm installing an X-pipe that suposityly sounds very bad with flowmasters (chambered), so I'm switching to a Borla cat-back (straight through).
One of the reasons I'm doing the whole cat-back instead of just the mufflers is that the muffler shop that installed the flowmasters installed them poorly, so they kinda of screwed up the post H-Pipe, pre muffler pipes getting them to fit. As long as I'm doing 2/3s a cat-back and everything else, might as well do the whole thing.
It depends on the price, but I know my mechanic will install a complete cat-back for about the same as just mufflers. More bolt'n and move'n, but less welding. Of course the cat-back costs more. It may or may not sound better, but it won't sound any worse.
I think the best idea is to sit back and think about what you want to do with your car in the long run. I would have never installed the flowmaster mufflers, if I had though a head to where I am now and what I want to do later.
