dumps leave a nasty exhaust smell in your car while at idle 
my old 5.0 had the exhaust trapped under the car and it was hell in my garage at idle!

if you go with turndowns, go catless, or h/f cat. I had my car set up with turndowns for awhile with the stock h-pipe, and is sounded too deep, almost ricey. after I took the cats off it sounded like a vintage mustang, but it also rattled everything in my car at idle. The sound definitely made up for it though.

I had dumped flowmaster for all of about three days. It sounded great at startup and wot, but it was unbearable at cruising speed. Like 50mph at 1500 rpm or so it was AWFUL. Everything would rattle and I could barely hear the radio. Keep the tail pipes would be my advice.
I have dumps with Dynomax Ultraflows. They are loud around town, but mello out nicely at cruise speed with no drone. Before I got the Dynomax mufflers, I had the dumps with 2 chamber Flowmasters, and they were unbearably loud and droned terribly at cruise. I would recommend dumps with straight-through mufflers, but not with chambered mufflers.

I've got turndowns with 2chamber flows and an MRT H-Pipe w/hi-flow cats and I think it sounds great. I don't mind the drone at all. It's not really bad at cruising speed. More noticable at idle, strating off and then wot. You can't beat the sound and I can still hear my radio just fine. I used to have regular 3in ss pipes and took them off b/c I like this better. Still have the old pipes though, just in case. I had tds on my old 91 with no cats and it was obnoxiously loud. Had headers and everything and it rattled everywhere and when you would pull through drive-thru it would rattle the overhead awnings. It was great!
i'm running my stock mainifold, stock mid pipe with cats and a flowmaster 3 chamber catback. how much of a sound differance will i get with dumps?
also i was going to get a upr cat less x pipe, is this a good pipe?
and i was wondering, i have to drive my stang all winter and in the rain, wont dumps let water and snow in the mufflers and make them rust?

It will make a difference even with the stock equipment although, not as noticeable as if you already had the x or h pipe. I am not that familiar with the pipe you're referring to other than hearing the name. I had a friend of mine who had a catless Dr. Gas x with dumps and it was loud and he had the stock exhaust manifolds also.
I drive my stang as well in teh winter and had to drive my old one also. It may be a little "worse" but shouldn't make too big of a difference. The straight pipes are exposed to the elements just like dumps unless you're planning on driving it in several inches of snow and then maybe it might be worse for the wear.

from what I've heard x-pipes sound a little too raspy with flows, if you want to get an x go with some strait through type muffler, not chambered.
