Can't make up my mind on which exhaust OK I been searching and researching for several weeks now on what exhaust setup I want and have made up my mind probably 10x over.
I'm crossed between two set-ups and if you guys could just put in your two cents I'd be very greatful.
1st Set-up:
Kooks 1 3/4 Headers - TSP ORX-pipe - Dynomax Bullet's, Sweet Thunder or something along those lines.
Pro's
-Sounds Great
-Best Performance
Con's
- Ground Clearence
- Cops (noise)
2nd Set-up:
Kooks 1 3/4 Headers - Kooks ORY-pipe - Keep Flowmasters till I can afford Corsa
Pro's
- Sounds alright
- Good performance
- Better ground clearence?
Con's
- Not the best Performance
- More Costs involved
- Doesn't sound as good as the x-pipe
These are my veiws. If you guys can talk me into one of the set-ups that'd be a great help! Thanks!
NOTE: I would also like to add that I would like to lower the car with Eibach and revalved Bilsteins or possably some coilovers. I haven't made up my mind on that one either. This car will be a Street/Strip as well.

To me, it sounds like you want an all around performance car. When you're talking "lowered" and "strip" about the same car, it's a bit of a contradiction. As for the exhaust setup though, I'd go ORYP/catback if you really want to lower it. If you keep it off the ground, I'd say, "Consider true duals." But, I'd highly recommend riding in a car with true duals first if you can. There's a lot of interior noise with dumps at the axle and they can make for annoying situations (ie trying to have a conversation with someone, talking on the cell, etc.).
Personally, I'd go ORYP + Magnaflow. The Corsa's are known for having the internal baffle blow out causing them to sound rather $h!tty. Just my $0.02...

Thanks for the info on the Corsa... I never heard of that. I was thinking of Borla as well... I just like the Corsa tips more.

Do the X-Pipe!!! In my opinion you cannot beat the sound, no Y-Pipe setup will sound as good as the TD, Remeber this is MY OPINION no haters please 
Like stated before get a good set of mufflers and it won't be that loud. I am lowered with a lanes TD setup and the only ground clearence I had is with big speed bumps and that was it, nothing came in contact when on reg roads.

True duals all the way!
Like SLPSS99 said, no y-pipe setup will sound as good as the true duals.
Theres also a gain in the performance area with them also.
Just make sure the pipes get tucked up high enough so ground clearance isnt a big issue. Flip your fuel lines if you have to.

Thanks for the comments guys...I'm getten good feedback.
I was thinking also... Dynomax Bullets - Sweet Thunder or Moroso Spiral Flows? I've heard a lot of good thing about Dynomax and a few good things about Sweet Thunder but nothing on Moroso Sprial Flows. Any word you guys hear on them?

SLP springs will work perfectly with true duals, they will lower your car no more than 3/4".
Here's another good tread:
