Default Most HP from exhaust

What do you guys think would give you better performance gains: Going with an off road X-pipe and somewhat restrictive mufflers (ie Flowmasters) or going with a high flow catted midpipe with more straight through mufflers (ie Magnaflow). I'd like to pick up some performance but don't want a loud high pitched raspy sound.

If you want the maximum hp, go with an O/R X... if you cant because of emissions or inspections or whatever, go with a high flow catted X..

As for the mufflers... I personally dont see a need for them... (IMO straight pipes sound better), but youll gain no hp from any axle back so pick those depending on the sound you want.

i think you need to look up anderson ford's dyno test...they tested over 10 mufflers and did one without.
