They're all pretty good...I'd personally go with the Bassani X....

The X-Pipe will not necessarily make it louder, however if you get one without cats it WILL be louder, but it will stink! The loudness also might be too much for you if you drive it all the time... X-Pipe is quiet at idle, but it does get pretty loud when you get on it. It's also a little raspy. It depends on your preference. When I first put it on it sounded different but now I am used to it and like it.


If you want an X-Pipe, get a REAL one. Some (like BBK) just use a middle piece that is stamped die cast and welded to the pipes. You might as well get an H-Pipe. Bassani and Dr Gas are good choices because they use a "real X" and are 3 pieces that weld together, for better fitment. VRS is another good company, I have their X-Pipe with cats. It comes in 2 pieces and uses a "true X" design as well. It didn't really make my car a lot louder but it changed the tone.
