Bassani x-pipes make the most power.

Mac Pro-chamber should be second, at about half the cost.

Screw the sound, go with the power.(although both those will sound sweet with flows)

Dude, you should hear mine rumble with the pro-chamber. I wake up the neighbors

at 6am. I think the setup you get should be based on what your gonna do to he car in the future. X pipes work great with a power adder whereas I was always told an H pipe or the Mac prochamber would be better for naturally aspirated. Also, if your gonna do an H pipe, you should make it a shorty and put long tube headers on at the same time. That will give you the most noticable gains. Only problem is, and this is the reason I dint do it myself, when you need to get the car inspected, unless you have catted h or x pipe, you will have to swap the pipes out and stay with shorty headers. Hope I didnt lose you through that. Basically if you do the headers, do a catted x or h so it stays legal. If you stay with factory, go with non catted and just swap them come inspection time.
