At least it's more erect and not floppy anymore.

I was thinking of Bassani, but then I've been hearing others like, pypes, magnaflow, bbk, and etc are good as well and don't cost as much. Any recommendations? Keep in mind I have flowmasters. I'm looking to get bbk shorties in the future. Will this setup sound good?

no BBK, whatever you do don't go BBK. you'll be equally happy w/ pypes and magnaflow, bassani i think sounds a lil different but not worth the extra $

Have you heard a pypes o/r x pipe with flows before? I know they are pretty cheap which is a good thing for me So no on bbk shorties?

bbk shorties are fine if you must go shorties, bbk LT's are great too. Just BBK x's are terrible sounding. I have heard pypes w/ flows and i like the pitch, but chambered sound usually prefers a o/r h accompaniment.

That's why I was leaning towards the Bassani x because I've heard them with flows and they sound really good. Are pro chambers any good with flows?

yeah, pro-chambers proly are found most commonly with w/ flows. Bassani won't sound too much different than magnaflow or slp or pypes x pipes with flows.

Here's a vid of pypes o/r x and flows: http://youtube.com/watch?v=rC7kjzmhtBU
if you find one that says UPR i belive thats also the exact same thing as pypes.

I would prefer bolt on even though I like how Dr. Gas sounds but I live in Cali where emissions suck and welded is not an option for me.

I have a Mac X-pipe on my 98 GT with a Spintech prostreet catback....it sounds viciously mean. i dunno if you want that kinda sound, but it really turns A LOT of heads when i role through places. oh and dude, dont worry about smog. i know so many people that'll pass your car for about 100 bucks here in cali.

My car is lowered an inch and a half so it will be hard to look under it for the x-pipe. I'm from the Fresno area, where are the smog shops here that will make it pass for me?

BBK and Bassani have the same design for their X pipes, and will sound nearly if not completley identical.

UPR makes a great X pipe.

I'm going for the Pypes x pipe because it's a lot cheaper, it's the same as the UPR right? Will the Pypes fit my Auto?
