Default x-pipe.. worth it?

So i'm thinking of getting an x-pipe for my 95 GT. I all ready have the magnaflow cat-back so what I'm wondering is... is the x-pipe with the cats worth the 500 bucks? Will it sound any different? Any power gain? Give me some reasons to put spend more money on my car... Thanks all

When i put my stock H pipe back on from my o/r Prochamber i noticed a huge difference in top end power. Since the highflow cats ive seen are basically straight through with maybe the exception of a screen, and since ive heard the difference between high flow pipes and offroad pipes is minimal, you'd most likely notice a decent increase in power and sound.

I agree with 88bluegt, the H pipe has a deeper muscle car sound, the X pipe tends to be a little bit of a higher tone.

ok well it sounds like the H-pipe is the preffered route and I definetly want that deep muscle car sound so thanks for all of your suggestions. One more thing, where would you all recommend I take my business? I'd like to stay with Magnaflow because I have absolutely loved the cat-back.
