Im looking into an exhaust upgrade.

In your own opinions whats my best route.

Replacing my stock mid pipe with an off road X or H, while keeping stock manifolds and mufflers
or
Replacing mufflers with Delta 44's

Im doing this to get a more aggresive sound past 2k and a little more of a rumble at idle.

Sorry to add to the always hated exhaust set up question. Just curious to what people will say.

See what you can get for used. I picked up headers and a mid pipe for $300 shipped. That's cheaper than most catbacks.

Out of those options, swap out the mufflers.

Oh and go original 40, not delta 44

Original 40's have that classic Mustang flowmaster sound while deltas seem to be a tad more mellow. Here is a clip of my car with Pypes offroad X and original 40's welded in. I actually like the X with the 40's. It has a little rasp under 2k rpm but after that they scream and have a little gargle to them. I am actually contemplating running a different exhaust set up but not sure which one?

Here is a video of the 40's with stock mid pipe. Big difference after the X!
Stock mid pipe they seem to have a little more bass to them.
