Default V-6 exhaust opinions???

I am wanting to put dual exhaust on my V-6 at the same time I put my body kit on, Boy Racer with a Street Scene Ducktail spoiler. I am wondering about 2 different exhaust kits that I have come across...The Steeda Magnaflow and the Flowmaster American Thunder...Which will give the best sound but not have revberrations (drone) that make the car uncomfortable to drive for long distances?...I want a good mean sound but don't know which of these offers the best bang for my buck. I found the American Thunder kit for $259, and the Magna flow for $469.
Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry $269 and here is the description on the kit:

EXHAUST KIT,05/06 MUSTANG GT "AMERICAN THUNDER"
American Thunder Axle Back Exhaust System for 2005-2006 Mustang GT.

Made especially for the 2005-2006 GT with specifically designed 5" x 10" mufflers and polished 4" rolled exhaust tips with Flowmaster embossed on them. This system gives you the louder, more agressive Flowmaster tone you want, with minimal interior resonance or "drone" when cruising.

Installation is easy, it bolts right up to the stock over-axle pipe and uses the factory hangers.

those are just the mufflers, you should be looking for a whole cat-back system

What kind of expenses are associated with getting an H pipe or X pipe fabricated?

I've heard magnaflows on a friends car, and I have flowmaster 40 series. The flowmaster sounds WAY better to me. He's even going to change his mufflers to something esle because he doesn't like the sound.
