There's quite a few threads that talk about this. In short, X-pipe would be best.

Mine is in the works as we speak. I will have it out of the shop on Friday. It is a 2.25" true dual from the primaries back with the x-pipe and magnaflows for mufflers. I also have them putting in some 4" magnaflow resonators to help with the drone. I dynoed 269.7rwhp with the INJEN Intake being my only mod. I will put up the new results by the weekend, and let you all know what kind of number I make. I was impressed with my dyno run though, I was expecting around 260hp.

Installing headers and a custom mid pipe won't void your warranty on anything but the exhaust.

Here are pics of my new custom setup. Dont have any final dyno runs yet, because they are moving the shop. Should be within 2 weeks. I can feel a definite mid range increase though.

Why not just upload the pics into the photo gallery and link to them in a single post? All these attached pics are tiny and you don't need to do it this way.
