Default Whats A Better Performance

Im planning on finishing my exhaust this summer and i wanted to know what is better

Exhaust Mods:
1 5/8 Shortie Headers
O/R X Pipe
Dynomax Ultra Flow Mufflers

Will there be any HP increase and will it get any louder either?

^^ Depending on the mods of the car of course. If you have a basically stock engine, the dumps will only help in LOSING bottom end. In this case, I would go with the 2.5" pipes. If your engine is modded pretty good, or built, go with the dumps.. In either case though, the dumps will be louder.

Only downside that some people dont like about the dumps is that the sound bounces repeatedly off the ground and the bottom of the car, makes it very loud inside the car, but others don't care because of the awesome sound outside.

Preference my man, preference.......
