Default true dual or catback w/cutout

what do you guys say? do i run a set of hooker lt with a y-pipe(OR) and a flowmaster catback? or do i just put a true dual on my car w/ x-pipe?
i am not going to worry about noise/emissions cuz i live in sc and i want best flow w/decent ground clearance. please give me your .02 cents <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" />

how about just OPEN HEADERS!!! or maybe on off-road y-pipe and a dump right after that. basically if you want the best flow, a cutout is best or an exhaust dump.

I'd go with a nice sounding catback and get a cutout right after the y-pipe. that way you can have the best of both worlds: nice sound when cutout is closed, max performance when its open.

to me, an x pipe would be a waste of time and money

X-pipe system. No doubt about it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
