I like the X pipes on the modular engines & a H pipe on the push rod engines!

IMO, a catted x would be your best bet. Any o/r pipe will be crazy loud, and very raspy/poppy with LM1's.

My personal experience has shown me that a o/r h is more raspy/poppy than a o/r x with straight through style mufflers that are loud to begin with.
