you have one of the better options to be had. An X pipe from bassani or magnaflow will probably gain you 1-2hp and change your exhaust to a raspy note but I really think you have a fine setup.

I have an x w/ my headers and i can't wait until I can replace it w/ an h since I hate the sound of x-pipes.

H pipe will be deeper and make more torque. The X-pipe will make more top end power but less torque and have a high pitched raspy sound. The power difference is minimal between them so pick which one sounds better to you.

I had the SLP Loudmouth w/ an o/r X-pipe on my GT. It had a funny sound from 2300-2800 rpm's, but once you got on it there's nothing like it. The car sounded absolutely PISSED at higher rpms.

I agree! Mac prochamber FTW! With that said I think the combo you have now is pretty damn good. Why waste money on a nother mid-pipe when you could use the $300-500 for another mod
