Which one is the best bang for the buck? And makes the most decent power gains?

Pro chamber>*

Has the nicest tone and makes the most power. They are the most expensive though Lshrug:

Prochambers usually are priced around $250+. I bought a used one off eBay for $180. I have since switched to a Pypes o/r X.

Power differences are minimal at best between offroad midpipes. With that in mind, you should select your midpipe based on which catback/mufflers you plan on using.
IMO, certain muffler types sound better with an h pipe while others sound better with an x pipe. If you are using Flowmaster's or MAC's, I would recommend the Prochamber hands down. If you are using a straight through type muffler, generally the x pipe sounds best with them. Just my View attachment 266562.

For people like me trying to get small power gains the X pipe is proven
to produce more power. The exhaust pulse crossing side to side creates
a scavenging effect that draws the exhaust like a vacumn.

I'm thinking about the prochamber because I may end up switching to a mac catback instead of the dronemasters.

I had long tubes, O/R X-pipe and a cat back with no mufflers on my 03 Vert. It was obnoxious sounding and the first time I heard the car from the outside I wanted to sell them. Just a nasty sound. I prefer the deeper tone of a chambered muffler with a pro chamber

Just makes them sound like a big engine muscle car

I'm stuck between a mac catback or either bassani. I love how both of them sound.

Depends on who you ask! I've had the o/r prochamber and currently have an o/r X. I can't really tell any difference between the two other than sound.

I like my UPR O.R. X($100 shipped to my door) paired with a Flowmaster American Thunder Catback.... Sweet rumble at idle and it screams up top...

The UPR X made a nice SOTP difference when I put it on.

The best sound i've heard out of the upr is on srt handz car. Sounds pretty sweet with his bassani catback.
