My old yellowjacket had the Bassani X with cats...

Gave me a noticeable top end gain, and the sound was quite cool. Kind of like a NASCAR sound but not loud until you romped on it...

As far as nice sound without a high annoyance level... the Dynomax setup and the MAC setups seem to have a nice sound without waking up the neighbors\law enforcement...

Flowmasters are the king of "Pull Me Over" loud... I'd stay away from those...

My opinions on X versus H pipes come from some dyno sessions I was privy to witness last year...

Same car with same setup except for 4 types of mid-pipes being changed...

Two were X pipes, two were H pipes...

Bassani and Magnaflow (X)
MAC ang Dynomax (H)

There was always a good improvement over stock and while the Xs did a little better with rwhp, the Hs did a bit better in rwtq. I believe there was a much expanded test in one issue of MM&FF which came to similar conclusions.
