They are THE best sounding mufflers by far!
I thought to make the most power, the rule of thumb was;

x-pipe with cats...straight-thru muffler, ala Magnaflow.
h-pipe, off-road x or h...baffled muffler, ala Flowmaster.

I DEFINATELY don't want my Mustang to sound like a ricer, and was planning on going x-pipe with cats/Magnaflow to help with power. How does an h-pipe w/ cats and a chambered muffler look on a dyno compared with the x-pipe/straight-thru setup? Can anyone with either setup comment?

With the modular engine, and HP coming up high in rpms, the x-pipe seems like a good idea. But on the otherhand, an h-pipe would help the otherwise lacking torque down low...
