The xpipe should give you a little more hp gain and the catback will give you more of a sound change

catback does open up flow also for a bit more power and if you get an O/R xpipe, it will also affect the sound. Either way, I dont think you'll be sorry

I went with hi-flows after having an O/R setup and couldnt tell any difference. You could always just swap the mufflers and tipstoo instead of a full catback. Just some other options to keep in mind.Good Luck

I went with high flow cats aswell. Mines pretty damn loud too. They are pricey though.
