If you get the flowsound you should get the singlechamber ones because I have two of those with my x pipe and it sounds awesome,it sound just like the 10 series flowmasters and since they are one chambers they dont suck like the other flowmaster series

This. However, you have to drive it and listen to it, so get whatever makes you smile when you mash the accelerator.
