Def. go with a o/r midpipe, the diff will be huge. I think the biggest thing you can do to change exhaust note is swap mufflers and the next best thing is an o/r midpipe.

More exhaust flow is not going to hurt you MPG. And with a mustang is it that important??

Off road midpipe and shorty headers, or you can get SLP loudmouths, midpipe is the bastard child of the stock exhaust family.
