Default Which would you choose?!

Here's the deal, my birthday was the 14th and I got a little cash to throw around so I decided I would pick up some mods. I am choosing between these two options:

Pypes Mid Muff System and a Pypes Offroad H-Pipe

or

Steeda UDP's and Steeds CMCV Delete's with a Brenspeed retune to compensate for plates.



I currently have a WMS intaks and box and an SLP LM exhaust, that's it for engine mods. The LM's are too tame for me so I want to eventually change up the system, but I can't change anything with the LM's installed because it will be too loud. Would I get any power by changing the stock H and deleting the cats and running the new exhaust setup? What would you choose?

Well I'm in college so money is tight and gears are around $600 installed which I don't have to play with right now. Gears will also affect my mileage on the ride to and from home which will be rough for me, I would rather do one of the two options in the OP.

I agree that gears will give you a better bang for the buck.
Save up for them.

EH money comes slow to me, and I don't see myself waiting months to save for gears! Lol, I think I'm doing the exhuats setup. Has anyone run this setup and can vouch for how it sounds? I know the X-Pipe would get me power but I don't like the way it sounds from the vids I have seen, it trumpets a lot and the H is lower. Any comments?

I love my X pipe sounds great when I get on it.

The general consensus seems to be that an X pipe is more higher pitched and gains 3-5rwhp more than the H pipe which is more deep rumble sounding.
