Default Mid pipes

I've been looking at two different styles/brands of mid pipes and just wanted to know what others would suggest for my Saleen.
The two types I've looked into are:
Bassani Off Road X-pipe and the MRT H-pipe (both without cats).
I still have the stock Saleen exhaust, which I believe is Borla on my car. I'm looking for more HP and a better sound and I'm open to suggestions.
I was almost settled on the X-pipe, but then I heard that its not ideal for chambered mufflers.

alotta chambered mufflers do sound unpleasing with an x, but not always. if you don't mind loosing probably 1 or 2 hp then an H will sound better most likely

Okay, I've settled on the Bassani off-road aluminum X pipe. Now I'm hear two different storys regarding the O2 sensors. One speed shop told me that I should get the pipe with the ports for the sensors. Then another person said to get the pipe without the ports and get O2 eliminators for the sensors.
Just waqnt to know what others have done in this case?

I'm tossing around the idea of X vs. H on a 00 GT roush stage 1. I had a quote to have the whole exhaust redone, headers and all, including body struts and the guy wanted 2000 to do it, little more than I need to spend. Is a X or H going to make much sound diff than the stock roush side exhaust system? I've read all kinds of the posts on this topic and I'm still undecided....any advice or anyone had this done?????

If you want to go o/r, go long tube headers, and a shorty x-pipe
