TSP since I bought their setup (incompetent exhaust shops around here). If you have a halfdecent shop anywhere near you I'd get the Dr. Gas X and have them fab a whole setup for you.

There are really only a few main setup types.

LS1 Speed and Texas Speed and Performance duals.

Dr Gas, possibly purchased with pipes in a "kit". Local exhaust shop put together.

I have seen some people with a Magnaflow X-pipe as well.

Default x pipe

Ive seen several x pipes inside before welding them together, and the dr gas is the best quality, and looks like it would flow the best inside. IE smooth transition, clean, perfect, balanced, corners in the x. Most all others are inferior, and for Gods sake use mandrel bends or suffer. Once you look inside you will know you made the right choice. Not to knock anyones stuff but if you looked you would have to agree..

I am using a Magnaflow Tru-X transition. It is constructed almost like two separate pieces of steel were stamped into the X shape then they were welded together. Here is a pic of the outside. Sorry no inside pics.
