I think the dumps are what is going to make it obnoxious personally, was never a fan of dumps really. If you had a full exhaust I'd say 100% x pipe.

Get the mac stuff, if you want to do it all over again in a few years.

Bassani SS x pipe.

Probably be just as loud both ways.
Just don't confuse loud with sounding good.
I'm with mint, if this is a street car, use a catback.

I've run VRS x pipes, everyone has had to be modified to go in but its a true x, bassani and magnaflow x pipes are a rounded off x. and put tailpipes behind those mac muffs, it will sound like sex.

Agree with tailpipes being a must, dumps have no tone just loud bass.

On the "true x" comment, this is why i run the Dr. Gas, plus because they invented the X pipe. Regardless, there are X pipes and then there are funny looking things that are marketed as being an X but have that big clamshell welded together thing in the middle...that to me is not an X and i have heard the difference. If it doesn't look like two 90 degree bends siamesed together in the middle then i wouldn't buy it...but that's my preference and your mileage may vary.
