Default headers and x pipe setup

Hey guys i need advise on what kind of headers and x pipe setup i should get. I am pretty sure i want to go with the x pipe and not the h pipe. I need the best deal for the money. I dont have a deep pocket book so i cant get too wild. I have heard BBK is pretty good but i have been seein decent deals for flowtech. What do yall recomend? I am open to all suggestions.

I have JBA headers and bassani o/r x-pipe with the bassani catback and it makes good power and sounds amazing, definitley different from every other mustang.

Ive got BBK ceramic LT's, BBK O/R Xpipe, and magnaflow catback. it sounds amazing its very loud outside the car but not that loud inside at WOT it screams. My car has a stage one cam so it has a little raw-er sound than most but it still has that nice 4.6 tone. Ive noticed a good power gain with the headers.

SLP is a great set up. A bit more pricier than the BBK, but less than Bassani or JBA. Then go with like the SLP LM1 or LM2 and your money. Turn heads left and right

I have bbk shorties and bbk o/r x pipe, it sounds great, loud, agressive. Got them both from Summit for about $600.00. Really did help power too, chassis dyno: 279hp and 309tq on an otherwise stock gt.

ive heard flowtech dont line up right. ive installed them on a 89 and was ok and ive installed bbk shorties on a 00 and went ok i personaly would not buy flowtech. with my bbk shorties i have a mac o/r x and sounds great with the 40's flowmaster muffelers.

I have the SLP longtubes and the SLP catted X with Borla Stingers cat back and get compliments every time I take the car out. Sounds very good.
