They all will work but, you said a little more performance and the H-pipe IMO would be the way to go. RJ22

what about better soundng? (my definition of better sounding would be getting rid of the hi pitch noises) more low tone

Re: exhaust options

I think you will acomplise that by going with the 3in exh. you stated the H-pipe will also lower the tone some IIRC.

Re: exhaust options

I agree with RJ22...so do I get taco bell too...? If you still need mufflers, check out Spin Tech. They have some really wicked sounding units

Re: exhaust options

Option 2 is what I just did with mine, looks good and sounds great.

Re: exhaust options

Option 2 for sure.

I think the only question you have is whether you go with an H-pipe the way you have it diagramed or extend it out a little further and go with an X. Both configurations accomplish the same thing but some people will argue that that an X is better because of the way the exhaust is directed. I went with an X and have been very happy with it.
