mid-pipe with forced induction?

[5.0_GT_kid]

I've never seen anything like this posted, and since I know that you should always run a straight-through muffler (Dynomax, Magnaflow) whenever you run turbo or S/C, I was wondering if there is a certain mid-pipe configuration that works best as well, or is it just like N/A and become a matter of personal preference

From what I've read, people with S/C tend to lean toward X-pipes. I also know that there have been claims that going from a chambered muffler to a straight through on cars with forced induction has netted gains of almost 50hp.

Anyways let's hear what you guys think.

My car didn't have forced induction but with E/L shorties, a catted X, and open flow drag mufflers that thing sounded like a monster but seemed to loose a bit of torque. Sure I suppose I got some horses out of my exhaust swap but it felt like it being so open I may have lost a good deal of back-pressure which prolly caused my low end torque to suffer. I'm sure you need a better flowing exhaust to help that baby breath since yours is S/C so would recommend maybe X or ProChamber with good flowing mufflers. Do you plan on going the offroad route? What about headers?

Turbo cars run straight through mufflers because they like NO backpressure.

Mufflers and midpipe aren't anything to worry about if you are making some real power anyways.
