I have a xcal had it dyno tuned when installed I am very happy with mine I could not compare the two but it made a big difference in performance on my 05.

I did not want to **** of the neighbors with the slp.I like deep sound of the Magnaflows when I get on it but there not to loud when cruising the polished stainless looks real good to me also.

I'm running the Predator which is awsome. The difference with the CAI was night and day. I also just downloaded a FREE update to my tune which you can't do with the SCT. Go with the Predator or the X-cal II, I read that that one is going to be like the Predator as far as adjustable parameters and a screen. I'm not sure about free online downloads though. Of course if your smart and can afford it you should have the car dyno tuned anyway in which case there is no need for updating a generic tune but that will cost you an extra 3-5 bills. Either way the difference is going to be incredible.

I concur... I really like the Predator. It has a lot of flexibilty. In fact, I just used it to recalibrate my speedo to account for my taller than stock tires. And when the 4.10s go in, it will be a simple task to recalibrate it for those, too.
