I used to have a Dr Gas (Spintech) X pipe with a Mac cat back on my ex's car. It gave a great sound and were both well built pieces. Now, I have a Bassani X pipe and welded in Flow's (on the car when I got it). Again, I like the sound and the x pipe is stainless. Just remember, H pipe = lower toned "muscle car" sound and, X pipe = higher pitched "indy car" sound.

I had o/r x and flows 40 series on my 96gt. It was a nice sound but did have a drone at highway speeds.

If you have any questions on Magnaflow please let me know. The Magnapacks will defiantly give you a nice deep aggressive tone. Given that they are straight though for wide open performance you will see a very good increase in power and torque. Our mufflers use a packing material as opposed to other chambered designs that can get somewhat raspy at higher rpms.

I can vouch for Magnaflows. I've had them for > 6 years and had no issues. Magnapacks are quite loud. Flowmaster type mufflers are for kids. If you want a nice sound, listen to Magnaflows before you made the final decision.
